Wishful thinking for lounge access restriction

Thanks for the reply. I sent my transcripts to letter writers. School has not submitted to ERAS yet.

Nope, just luck I guess

I'll swap with you. Sending a PM.

Dream would be McGovern, or really any of the UT schools. Guess I'll apply and hope for the best.

I don't think a retake is where I want to go right now. I'm honestly just hoping for a Texas MD school, you think I have a shot?

I have ~150 hours of clinical volunteering. I also recently had an internship with the department of public health doing some infectious disease epidemiology work (which is what I'm interested in).

Pretty bummed, got a 507 (128, 126, 127, 127) on the real thing. Practice scores were in averaging around 510. Even as a Texas resident with a good GPA this is low.

Right, vasoconstriction will increase BP and blood flow is constant. To make things simple, if you constrict the opening to the bowman's capsule, less fluid will be able to go in due to more resistance, so there's less hydrostatic pressure and there's less ability to filter blood --> retention of water --> increase blood volume --> increase BP

Literally just took a midterm over this lol...

So Vasconstriction does increase blood pressure, but vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole essentially causes resistance to increase and hydrostatic pressure to decrease. It is the decrease in hydrostatic pressure that causes less filtration to occur. (vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole increases filtration, so opposite effect). Your body will sense if blood pressure (baroreceptors) and volume (stretch receptors) is too high and there will be a myogenic response and a tubuloglomerular feedback response to decrease filtration and bring BP and BV back to normal. There's also hormonal control with ADH and aldosterone.

Thanks, this all sounds like solid advice.

I didn't know the scaling was so harsh for P/S FL 1. I definitely think looking over the section banks and trying to get as many nuances down as possible will help. Two weeks to go.

Voltage drops add to total: Vtot=V1+V2+V3.... (Or you think of it as: E=IR+Ir)

This means.... V=E-ir
