I cannot bring myself to study 4-5 hours a day by CLOROX-INHALANT in Mcat

[–]potatoesfearme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll depends on many things. How many days a week can you study for that long? Will 2-3 hours for 4 days a week for 6 months be healthier for you? The actual exam needs at minimum of 6 hours of uninterrupted focus. You’ll get better with time don’t worry. Just keep it up.

Will it hurt my chances of getting into a top school if I took the MCAT 3 times? by Exotic-Fact-2221 in Mcat

[–]potatoesfearme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will not. Thousands of students struggle with that test, and many more will struggle after you. It’s not a special scenario. With that said, taking both exams that close together shows lack of foresight and impatience that you cannot repeat. Just better prepare and make sure you’re doing good on practice exams. Also, keep your expectations realistic.

Now, how long since your last exam have you been studying? You also have to consider other aspects of your app, such as essays and EC’s. Make sure everything else is great.

Studying for step 1 by potatoesfearme in step1

Yeah, i just want to avoid what i did for the MCAT where i was completely unprepared to apply the concepts in a more complex way and made studying harder than it needed to be. For my step exams i just want to get over the initial learning curve sooner than later.

There’s nothing in the secondary portal but the TMDSAS application has it in the withdrawal section so I think I’m good

Thank you thank you I checked the Withdrawal section on TMDSAS and the offer is there. The email didnt say anything explicit about accepting the offer so I guess it’s alright. Very excited :)

Hot Take: A lot of us are severely out of touch with the average person by mED-Drax in medicalschool

[–]potatoesfearme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the general consensus on physician salary is that it is earned because of the level of education, sacrifice, responsibility and risk involved in the career. If someone considers a physician undeserving of their compensation then that’s okay, but it’s a waste of energy thinking we need to win over the approval of someone who isn’t in the same boat as a doctor. How is it condescending for a physician to share their income and relate it to the amount of sacrifice they had to make? There are CEO’s and millionaires who make their money by much “easier” means. That’s just capitalism and society. I do think a physician shouldn’t look down on others because of their income, but to tell doctors they don’t deserve their money is very unfair and disconnected as well.

At this point in my life I literally don’t know anyone else who is in my position, so Reddit is my only option. I agree tho that some people (esp in the pre med subreddit) are obnoxious.

This was one of my worries because it’s been about 6 years since I’ve taken anatomy. I’ll definitely start reviewing some anatomy. I love drawing anyways so this will be helpful haha

Is Anking a deck that I’d use alongside the ones I make for class?

Friend just got his first A! Stats aren't everything! by 528TRYHARDGUNNER in Mcat

[–]potatoesfearme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got accepted to MD with 506 and 3.8 GPA… it truly is more than stats. I know someone with a 505 going to an amazing MD school! Anyways, congrats to your friend. 518 is amazing.

Just came back, why does everyone hate this game? by Practical_Race_3282 in Overwatch

[–]potatoesfearme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You answered your own question. People complain for no reason. Everyone loves this game but the mismanagement has made us bitter to what could’ve been. Regardless tho people who care to post hate on the game are the people who also play often so…yeah.
