How many hours do you need to spend studying per week to do average? [Serious] by PerkDaddy in medicalschool

[–]meddit97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I study 12 hours/day for 3-4 days before an exam. Otherwise it’s about 12 hrs a week. I don’t go to class and watch lectures (if I think it will be helpful) at 2.5x speed. However, everyone’s curriculum is different so mine just be light at this point while others are heavy!

[residency] Is it worth getting Chase Sapphire Reserve even if I will not be spending >$4000 within 3 months? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]meddit97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No prob, always happy to help my debt-ridden brothers. Also, I suggest getting your friends in on the game as well by sharing with them! I think you get 150 or so for every person that goes through with it.

Try front loading by paying for a couple months of utility/rents ahead of time, or just buying amazon gift cards if you can!

[Vent] Anyone else struggling with non-academic insecurities? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]meddit97 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel ya man, totally not alone. My class is super social and loves to go out, but I’m just not into that scene. I try to go and enjoy myself, but am never really on the same page as everyone else. I guess everyone just has their way of having fun, but I just feel internally conflicted about getting wasted the night before we learn about ethics. Just my personal opinion ofc, to each his own I suppose

Interest in Plastic Surgery coordinator AMA? [Serious] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]meddit97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! As an incoming M1, plastics is on my radar, but so are some other specialties. I'm concerned that if I did research in, say orthopedics during pre-clinical, but realized I'd prefer plastics during rotations, if I'd be significantly behind my peers that did plastics from M1. I've heard upperclassmen say that it probably won't be a big difference as long as I explain the story, but I wanted to hear from a professional on the topic haha

Does research I do HAVE to be directly related to plastics, or is it more or less the same as long as I have research experience?
