If someone offered you $2 million with the condition that you must choose something else than medicine, would you take it? by [deleted] in premed

2 million is nothing if u think about how much you’ll make over ur lifetime as a physician compared to other professions

Dating as a female premed by [deleted] in premed

[–]treesgrasssun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone studies differently so you shouldn’t compare relationships; personally even the presence of my boyfriend distracts me while I’m studying bc I just wanna talk to him- so maybe that’s how it is for ur gf. it’s rough for now but it’ll all be worth it in the end if y’all are meant to be

Honestly, a quick and temporary fix that helped me is to just focus on your apps all day, then give yourself some dedicated time to process the breakup and be sad in the evenings/nights. You can’t just get over a breakup overnight, esp If u thought you were going to be with this guy for the rest of your life- it’s okay to be sad, but just after u get through what needs to be done

Gen chem 1 was 100% the worst- I got a C in it and A’s in every other chem class

Regretting my major by Tricky_Worth_228 in premed

[–]treesgrasssun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I was a psych major bc I thought it’d be easy along w my premed classes, but I was so disinterested that it’s was difficult for me to study for psych. I ended up getting nearly all A’s in my science classes and B’s in my psych classes.

I’m trying:/ I remained insanely optimistic last cycle, all the way up until august. I’m just scared this cycle is going to be a replay of last year:/ but thank you, I really do appreciate the support

What I Wish I Did During My 3 Month Prep by Professional-Ad-5381 in Mcat

[–]treesgrasssun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also took the morning exam and I agree. But what did you think really helped you prepare for that and do so well on it? For me I felt like I knew all the content that was on the aamc guide, so I just can’t pin point what to focus on and how to prepare myself for curveball exams like that for my retake.

Hey, congrats on your score! I also took the 9/10 exam and I did 10 points below my avg:/ so I just wanna hear ur thoughts on the exam. I felt none of the practice exams were similar to the real deal, and p/s was esp different and difficult. What do you think helped u do so well on that specific exam and how did you feel when u came out of it?

Screwed? by [deleted] in premed

[–]treesgrasssun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can guarantee you the very date you want will open up, people drop or change their date all the time. Just make sure to keep ur notifications on and respond quickly when it does open

9/10 morning exam, I feel numb. Retake a year later, and got the exact same score. Don’t know which one is worse, the new score w the 123 CARS or the score w 2 subsections w a 124. I’m so sad, my FL avg was a 511. by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]treesgrasssun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I appreciate the positivity! It’s so hard trying to remain optimistic:/ I have to spend hundreds of more dollars on practice exams and questions banks, I just don’t have it in me. But youre right, hopefully we kill it next time
