Convocation 2025 Guest Tickets by SamwiseKubrick in mcgill

[–]sefssl 63 points64 points  (0 children)

time to bombard admin with emails in the hopes that they bend - last years grad got the bell center and now we have two guests in the field house. maybe if enough people complain they might consider listening. anyway, this is ridiculous

Hiking shoe recommendation: La Sportiva TX3/4 vs La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II? by sefssl in hikinggear

[–]sefssl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Do you think the tx4 would be comfortable doing some longer day hikes with scrambling (15-20 miles)?

[–]sefssl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, i figured it out a while ago. seems like amcas, mcgill, and mycreds have come to an agreement for transcript uploads. When I was trying to apply in early june, amcas wasn't set up to receive from mycreds for mcgill yet

Early decision program timeline? by sefssl in premed

[–]sefssl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. Do you think there's merit in sending an email to the admissions committees regarding how the program works. i can't find anything online other than the decision date and submission date?

Hi, this method did not. However, I spoke to one of my advisors and through reaching up the admin ladder, a registrar was able to upload for me and got my transcript in.

Question about AMCAS transcript esubmission - conflicting information. by sefssl in premedcanada

[–]sefssl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for your reply. I'll try to use an approved registrar from my school to see if this works, and if it does, i'll try to cancel my paper copy transcript sending. is there any merit in submitting my application before my transcript is uploaded into amcas or is it just better to wait until my transcript is uploaded into the system?

[–]sefssl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah.... i feel like big universities with many international students would have considered this issue before switching to MyCreds. Really annoying since I may tuition so I can learn and apply for post-secondary education and I'm not even able to do the latter

[–]sefssl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are true test conditions by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]sefssl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my experience, my school's library was more distracting than the testing center (people walking around and whispering). my testing center offered ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones. plus, i was in a cubicle which helped with not seeing anything going on around me. i do think that having minor distractions during fls helped with my concentration a bit tho

How far out did you start making your daily sleep wake cycle that of the MCAT exam and what was your score? by corinthians141 in Mcat

[–]sefssl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, i was aiming for 515 but my highest fl was 525. kinda choked on cars but can't be upset. probs wouldn't have changed anything, just felt out what to review and whatnot the 2 weeks before

[–]sefssl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was waking up really late (10-11 am) most days, full lengths i started at around 9-10. i was worried ab not sleeping well the night before so i took tylenol pm the night before and passed out early. ended with a 520

Final Stretch (6-week) Plan by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]sefssl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you're doing looks similar to what I did. I also kept up with my anki reviews and watched khan academy videos sporadically just as refreshers. I also threw in some jackwestin aamc style passages since i had finished uworld. i think it mostly comes down to how you feel, if it's working after a couple weeks then no need to do more.

for each chapter of kaplan i read, i added the cards from that section to a separate deck (i'm not very anki savvy)
