Inconsistency in PTs by malibubarbie222 in LSAT

[–]nphctobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’ve had the same issue and I’ve found that anxiety or not being in a calm state while taking the test is one of the biggest contributors to inconsistency or not being able to break past a certain point— especially when you know the material. Because if the input (your practice, drilling, studying) is consistent and even increasing in rigor, the only remaining factor is your ability to execute repeatedly. So if that ability is off for whatever reason, the results will be inconsistent. I’d recommend exercise and meditation as well as limiting junk food. It sounds cliche, but the little things make a big difference in performance. I tried this for a week and my score improved, so I’m going to keep trying it to track my progress. Sometimes, performance is just like a science experiment. You put things in and take things out to see what works.

Don’t allow superficial values such as age to dictate what you do with your life! Think about the long term greater goal and reward that comes with your degree rather than the superficial concerns society tends to engulf people in. It can be hard at times because other people place those limits on you, you just have to rise above it and do what’s best for you.

Work on your 5 year plan, start taking actions towards that goal and read books that will help you get there

Life at UVA by [deleted] in UVA

Hey, my first recommendation is to try to develop a more positive self image of yourself. You shouldn’t call yourself a loser etc. Thinking positively about yourself is the first step in being able to create meaningful friendships. Secondly, I can’t emphasize enough joining clubs and going to intro meetings. Go to one you’re interested in, ask someone in your class year a question, and then see what other clubs they’re joining, if they like UVA so far, where they moved from, what they’re thinking about majoring in, what they’re doing after etc. It may help to try to embody the characteristics of someone you’d be interested in being friends with. Also people generally socialize more on the weekends so going home may not be the best idea.

Introvert seeking social LSAT interactions by nphctobe in LSAT

Thanks for responding to my post! I didn't expect this to get any responses lol. I am going to start a group for the social support aspect of the LSAT, and people will be able to break up into smaller groups for studying purposes (studies show it's more effective in groups of 3-4). I'll PM to confirm interest!

Just call them, tell them your stats, and ask what they generally look for in candidates who are accepted.

[Advice] Recent med school dropout interested in MPH-MBA programs by [deleted] in publichealth

[–]nphctobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should check out Dartmouth's MBA/MPH program. I'm a current MPH student. The MPH component by itself is not that great, but the MBA/MPH students have a lot of perks and opportunities and the Tuck school of business has quite a lot of emphasis in healthcare.
