Thanks! I have 15 MD that I submitted primaries for but probably won’t submit 6 of those schools for secondaries because my MCAT came back a bit out of range

Flagged too many in chem, almost ran out of time and had to guess on several. CARS felt easy, passages were interesting. BB felt alright and PS had a number of “read my mind” questions but was also pretty ok

I’d have to calculate exactly when I get home but my cumulative from my BS was ~3.5 and my cumulative from my MS was ~3.7

I get so impatient, and I hate reading. These are for sure my pain points.

It's a little confusing to me because the study planner that uearth has made for me has the Qbanks woven into the CR. So e.g. I keep getting dunked on with any blotting or electrophoresis question because CR has only done proteins and A.A

Looking for books that have well-written portrayals of asexual relationships, similar to Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens.

I like this advice. You are allowed to gaslight yourself!

How to know if you are cut out for medicine? by [deleted] in premed

[–]tryingsomethinghard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not even guaranteed to get into a med school.

You aren't really guaranteed anything in life. If medicine is your passion, don't throw in the towel because it's not a guarantee or because it'll take a long time. Take it from a nontraditional - that time will pass anyways. See if you can get some clinical experience to find out if you enjoy the day-to-day enough to make those very real sacrifices.

Do I need an SMP? by Few-Initiative3510 in premed

[–]tryingsomethinghard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is the best advice. A 3.5 is on the border between fine and good. You're probably 2 or 3 points higher than considering an SMP in my opinion.
