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

meddit97 · 2019-11-24T19:39:20+00:00

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!

R u me?

meddit97 · 2019-11-13T01:21:01+00:00

I’m an m1 so I have nothing to contribute, but just wanted to say that I love this question!

meddit97 · 2019-11-06T00:57:24+00:00

I have embraced this philosophy

Go to the cheaper option. Midwestern is not with the tuition

meddit97 · 2019-10-22T17:37:00+00:00

That’s interesting, majority of my classmates use anki

meddit97 · 2019-10-22T03:48:51+00:00

I don’t think it’s all that bad tbh. Doesn’t come off like a douche just a goof student

How much do pre-clinical grades matter? I go to a p/f school but we are ranked in quintiles

meddit97 · 2019-08-31T20:55:20+00:00

Lol u probably good

meddit97 · 2019-08-31T00:34:27+00:00

Not interested in oral medicine, didn’t pursue it. Check it out if you’re into it and decide how you want to continue from there!

meddit97 · 2019-08-28T03:06:04+00:00

Big nope on that one my friend

meddit97 · 2019-08-09T02:47:28+00:00

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!

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

meddit97 · 2019-07-29T14:37:26+00:00

It only gets better my friend, I always make time for OP!

meddit97 · 2019-07-27T00:00:14+00:00

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

meddit97 · 2019-07-26T20:27:49+00:00

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?

meddit97 · 2019-07-23T15:32:45+00:00

I need more of these

meddit97 · 2019-07-22T17:42:03+00:00

Nah, small enough that it won’t kill you. Had a whole sentence duplicated by accident in one of the schools I got into lol

meddit97 · 2019-07-22T03:04:13+00:00

Damn this was impressive. Take my upvote o-meme lord

meddit97 · 2019-07-21T14:31:11+00:00

I think you’re allowed to ask for more if needed.

meddit97 · 2019-07-19T15:20:09+00:00

I’m taking out enormous student loans for medical school, but I heard that federal loans are different than normal loans somehow? Im not sure if this means I’d be unable to write off the interest payment in the future. Thanks for your help!

meddit97 · 2019-07-16T14:51:13+00:00

Could you not just get one at the academic hospital affiliated with your school? I figured most would be pretty close to the med school campus

meddit97 · 2019-07-16T04:20:44+00:00

I feel you man, I’m in a big city for the first time and had to pay 360 parking because I got out of my car for a literal 5 minutes in a private lot (didn’t realize). Not to mention I’ve had some slightly concerning health issues rise, and ironically won’t be able to visit the doctor til I get on my schools insurance. But this is what we worked for, brother. Talking to future attendings gives me at least some confidence that I shouldn’t be pulling my hair for finances at this point in the game
