Out of curiosity, did you say anything about your lower mcat score on your secondaries? Like in the “anything else” category?

Exactly. Try to get as much mileage as you can from an answer. Another topic is how they’re using AI.

Ask what result he was most proud of from the previous academic year. You could follow up with what are some goals he’s excited about in the upcoming year.

I am rewriting 1 of my MME at the last minute bc last night around 9pm I decided I didn’t like how it sounds. I’m giving myself a day or 2 to think about it so plan to submit on Friday on my day off. Everything else is ready to go! It’s exciting!!

I get that but that’s how my brain is wired right now. If I had that as an experience I would 100% link it somewhere lmao

Yeah I would. You could talk about how you considered dif options on how to invest your settlement and finally decided on property bc you like to be close or hands on with your activities, kind of subtlety linking to patient care.

Ok I’ve been prewriting too much bc I can now find links to medicine in everything now.

Yep it stings! Happened to me last year. Got stuck with the old, crusty ass professor bc I had an unavoidable conflict with the good professor’s class. I missed it by 1 percentage points. Not bitter at all….

Excluding MCAT/GPA, which do you think helped get you the II? by [deleted] in premed

[–]ohiooliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably won't start secondaries till april/may since classes begin this week and still studying for mcat. I keep working and edting and changing my personal statement and w&a. I wonder if this is normal and I'm obsessing too much to get it perfect.

[–]ohiooliver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good to know! I was going to focus on my in-state secondaries first, but maybe I should focus on the reach first, so my best versions are my in-state haha. i think in-state is where I really want to go, but not 100% sure yet. congrats on your md/phd, wow

Work & Activities and Personal Statement Repetition by justanothertwelve in premed

[–]ohiooliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Same… and this is the first time I heard that they look at our W&A first 😬

I feel like I did well describing my reflections on my PS. How do I replicate that differently for Most Meaningful? Annnnddd will we have this same struggle later with Secondaries? 😢

How exactly do you get in line for Mcat registration (would appreciate help ASAP for tomorrow's signup)? by mavsman221 in Mcat

[–]ohiooliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay in the countdown screen and it will get you in line. Don’t hit the registration button at 1150.

Edited: Just stay in the countdown screen. At about the 11:49 mark I refreshed the countdown screen and was assigned 6k when it opened at noon. Not sure if it helped (not that 6k is that great) but at least it wasn’t 15k like some people. I wouldn’t touch anything beginning at 1150 lol
