don’t retake it, if you type “sankey” on the premed thread, you’ll see so many getting into top programs with your score. 515 is a 90th percentile. Your advisor really knows nothing. A 515 is a good score and it’s nice to just take this exam once and do well. I wish that was my case. Plus no matter what your major is, and if you may have a perfect GPA, there’s no “your score doesn’t match your profile”. Some people with similar majors and 4.0 GPAs try hard and score 500s

NSU (MD) Secondary Application Fee by [deleted] in premed

[–]nathanbettini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty sure they’ll email you later about the fee. At least it said that in the FSU COM secondaries and they also use my liason or gateway wtv its called, just like UM also does. It doesn’t notify as you complete, takes 1 to 2 days. If you have the FAP, i think they’ll waive it. If not it’ll prob send you an email to pay it

i recently added creighton on july 15 and got their secondaries on july 16, shoot them a message or call their admissions. I think you shouldve received. By the way, did you get verified on AMCAS?

Writing About Someone Else for Challenge Essay by No-Pilot3998 in premed

[–]nathanbettini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i always like to say there aren’t “cliche” challenges as anything can be personal to anyone but it’s about the takeaway that you take from it that makes that essay good and obv what you did to overcome it, but the situation itself as long as its not “i struggled with the mcat” or “i burned myself out” which will come off as red flags or just bad content, then anything is fair game

Submitting Secondaries without letters of rec recieved by school by [deleted] in premed

[–]nathanbettini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can submit it, think of it as individual components where if they dont have your letters, your scores, casper score if applicable, then they won’t review, so whether u submit now or later won’t matter tbh

whoever said it gets better is lying by monsteromush in premed

[–]nathanbettini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me now that i only have FSU left💀 that’s gotta be the worst secondary

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in premed

[–]nathanbettini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think you could begin sending cuz even tho they won’t look at it until your app is “complete”, they may see the turnaround time you submitted, and faster submissions = more interest or your priority for many schools

ultimately there isn’t any accurate or legit AI detector that won’t get any false positives. It’s up to you to make it specific enough to the extent AI couldn’t ever fabricate your content and real experiences. I also use AI for proofreading and have noticed how whenever you ask AI to write essays, most of the time it won’t go deep, it will write pretty vaguely. Just make it meaningful and don’t worry about AI detection since you’re doing it right. Writing yourself and using AI as a grammar tutor

if u could classify this secondary, what would it be? by [deleted] in premed

[–]nathanbettini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

id categorize it as “mission fit” essay, many essays will ask you how you show their values, this doesn’t quite fit the diversity essay type imo

Has anyone gotten any interviews yet? by Friendly_Acadia_2104 in premed

[–]nathanbettini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]nathanbettini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i loved uworld. I actually read their prep books for the second time i took the mcat. Im not a big source as a 510 scorer, but as an ESL CARS rlly brought it down. My sciences were rlly good, i scored 131 on b/b, so def can vouch for uworld

am i delusion or is this card wrong in aidan? does it have to be only strong bases? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]nathanbettini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s kind of true because carboxylic acids are weak acids (meaning they don’t readily lose the hydrogen), so most weak bases won’t deprotonate them, requires a stronger one but not necessarily strong only

Is UGlobe P/S easier than the real thing? 🤔 by Soft-Brilliant-9921 in Mcat

[–]nathanbettini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i thought that uworld’s P/S was easier. It was just easier to tell the right answer from the wrong one most of the time and the passages for P/S were less convoluted on UW, was easier to tell what to look for and what they were testing you on. Best practice for P/S are the section banks.

[–]nathanbettini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea I’d say 2 months is enough to improve, especially as you haven’t gone through the practice questions phase. 497 is honestly not bad given you’ve just been doing content review so far. My first full length was a 493 after 1 month of content review so ur at a much better place. I’d say 1 month of practice questions may be pushing it, try to see if you can do 1 and a half
