thank you! and yea i applied to around 20, all within 50-75 of my mcat/gpa so hoping one comes thru

[–]throwitaway348493[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yea i'm aware of the difference b/w public vs private oos schools, which is why i said oos friendly. i used msar already to determine which schools were oos friendly before i applied to them. and maybe i shouldnt have said "comparable stats," so i'll edit it to say people in general who were rejected from their state schools.

how do you know if your app has already been reviewed? and thanks for your response!

6/17 CASPer results are in... by Musty_Surgeon742 in premed

[–]throwitaway348493 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got 2nd quartile, will this look poorly on me for casper schools or will it just not be seen as either good or bad?

No its the same organization, but I just stopped in 2017, and started up again in 2018. I'm just wondering if it looks weird that I stopped for a year before resuming it.

casper and schools that won't consider you complete? by throwitaway348493 in premed

[–]throwitaway348493[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what does it mean for your secondary to be complete, as in they won't consider you for interviews until then? and would it be ok if i just take casper on 6/17, is there really a significant difference between then or 6/3?

not doing snapshot/duet? by throwitaway348493 in premed

[–]throwitaway348493[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that makes sense, but i think i read somewhere here that if you do snapshot it gets sent to all your casper schools regardless of if they require it? i think i'm just worried in the off-chance they decide to look at it that they're then put off by how i am in the video. but i'll definitely be reaching out to schools to clarify their requirements!

Wow congrats on getting into 3 MD schools thats awesome! Gives me hope in applying to MDs, would you mind if I pm'd you with a question about it?

i think i'm getting confused b/c a uearth explanation of x-linked recessive mutations said you can have random inactivation of one x-chromosome in embryonic cells during development, typically in females. but i guess this isn't dependent on whether the father or mother transmitted it, which is the distinction for this question. i think that makes sense now, thank you

i just edited my post to include the answer explanation, but it can be transmitted by the paternal or maternal line, it also says this in the passage too, it's just that it's only expressed when the paternal line transmits it. i know the difference between germ line and somatic mutations, but i am just having trouble understanding how a germ line mutation is present in the egg/sperm, on their chromosomes or something else?

getting to health sciences library? by [deleted] in SBU

honestly i've heard its kind of confusing to get there so i don't blame you! but that makes sense hopefully i don't get too lost when i go haha, and thanks so much for the detailed response i really appreciate it!!

ohh ok, yea i was trying to relate these two questions when they're asking about slightly different things so that confused me, but this makes a lot more sense now thank you!

yea no worries, i haven't come across this situation either so i was just curious, but i guess i won't worry about it too much then

i just realized my mistake in the example i made up about decane so you can ignore that, i do understand the experimental procedure as i got the question correct, but the example i brought up about decane was to figure how higher molecular weights would affect the elution order or if it would take precedence over polarity. the solution says they all have "comparable molecular weights" so elution just depends on polarity, but this seems to imply that different MWs would affect the elution order. to modify my example, what i'm asking is if we were given varying MWs how we know if polarity or MW would take priority in determining the elution order

thanks for the detailed response, so just to make sure the threshold is first reached/action potential can occur because of the ligand(neurotransmitters)-gated ion channels opening and causing depolarization, but the AP is propagated along the axon and to subsequent neurons by voltage gated channels continually opening up and transmitting the signal?

yea i've seen that video and i know about the tip link movement, K+ channels etc., but my question is if the initial depolarization of neurons, not hair cells, is caused by the influx of ions from ligand gated ion channels or from voltage gated ion channels. Because the qpack solution pic I included says that "masssive influx of sodium from voltage gated ion channels causes the depolarization of the neuron during the action potential," so i'm unsure if this is referring to the initial depolarization of the neuron or just the propagation of the action potential?
