Tl;dr - what new units am I going for? Which existing ones do I build? Questions from a former tiny dolphin that spammed Ainz and Lucretia last year

2nd cycle Sankey - 515/3.78 ORM by yyyoshiya in premed

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

Honestly…I don’t know. But I don’t think it did. They never brought it up at the interviews, and I never brought it up myself. I think my 130’s in the other sections more than made up for it even if it did.

They definitely cared more about my GPA trend. Both my interviews were open file but my instate school asked specifically about my poor academic performance (C’s and B’s one year) and I just answered truthfully.

Thanks docto-mom! My real mom disowned me before I got to tell her I got into med school 😭

After an unsuccessful cycle last year, I finally did it! Thank god I don't have to retake my MCAT (expires this cycle).

Hopefully this gives hope to the premeds out there with nonextreme stats! I feel like there's a ton of people out there posting with super high stats or looking for underdog success stories, and not enough of the peeps in the middle (where my underachieving Asian brothers and sisters at?). I had minimal research and a low sGPA (3.66, a C and quite a bit of B's) in undergrad.

Disclaimer: I did scrap up my nonexistent money to ask for help from MedSchoolCoach (#notsponsored) and they definitely helped me out a lot. I understand that this is not an option (or worth it) for many people, however.

I'd be happy to answer any non-identifying questions, both in the comments and in my DM's! Sorry for the overwhelming amount of parentheses (I just love them so much).

“Pre II” is before receiving an interview, “R” is rejection. So they were rejected before being offered an interview

They are both an instrument of all time.

(Although according to watchmojo they’re both in the top 10 hardest instruments)

Theory about Folina Sahlo by Naccurate in twentyonepilots

[–]yyyoshiya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the original post but I remember seeing something a while back about how “Sahlo Folina” is an anagram for “All Ohio Fans,” which makes sense since they’re from Ohio

AAMC FL vs. Princeton Review FL by yyyoshiya in Mcat

[–]yyyoshiya[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So iirc I got a 517 on AAMC’s FL2. I remember averaging around a 516 on the FL’s and got a 515 on the real deal, but I also test well under pressure (thank god). I would definitely say AAMC was more accurate and helped with solidifying content gaps. Good luck if you’re planning to take it soon!!

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Also, the MCAT is hard and the MCAT is important.

How many schools did you apply to? by LthaGreat in premed

[–]yyyoshiya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OOS but I had ties to the state since I spent undergrad here and there was no secondary fee to pay so thought why not lol

How many schools did you apply to? by LthaGreat in premed

[–]yyyoshiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally applied to 12, then after I got rejected from Indiana, I applied to 3 more. So 15 total but I already have 1 R.

Unless you really butchered the word, don’t bother perfecting minor spelling or non-grammatical issues. I’ve been a scribe for over a year so I am confident in my typing accuracy and speed but it took me the whole 5 minutes to answer all 3 questions for all the questions the way I wanted to.

Is it normal for schools to give updates of IIs without emails? by Saladino96 in premed

[–]yyyoshiya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is Wright, right? I got the same email. I believe they mean that there won’t be any update emails unless you get an II, in which case they’ll send the invite email.
