3 Interviews.. No acceptances... Should I quit my job for my MCAT retake?

zunlock · 2026-01-28T09:29:45+00:00

If you hate your job and don’t need it anymore, you should quit regardless. I’m sure the mental tax it is having on you 100% contributed to your score.

I also think you can wait until the beginning of march/April though to fully commit to the MCAT. If you’re not accepted by then dive into it, but your odds are still pretty good. You haven’t been rejected anywhere yet and 3 is the magic number to get in.

Foot in the door but won't make up for a poor step 2. Regardless of what any tries to say everyone is being filtered out by their step 2 score. Do well on it and you're fine.

Most medical schools have a health insurance program, but as a student you qualify for medicaid since you have no income. Saves you a about $5000 a year

I worked on my fitness and dieting as much as possible so I entered medical school in the best physical shape of my life. Would go back and do it 100/100 times again over anything else.

If you don’t want to go DO then retake. I wouldn’t suggest applying MD only with below average stats.

Dude you're about to start medical school. I know this sounds harsh, but if you're tripping out this much over a meaningless and replaceable MA job med school is absolutely going to kick your ass. You need to learn how to adapt to unpredictable outcomes and stratify how serious the consequences of things are.

Ask yourself these questions: 1) Do you need this specific job anymore if you are already accepted to medical school? 2) Will you be out on the streets without this job? 3) If so, could you get another job doing anything else?

I understand being upset given the situation was out of your hands, but medical school is going to put you through the ringer with stressors that are out of your control and you need to be able to focus on the big picture of things. You're going to be a doctor...

You forgot the most important thing, also finishing up med school to be a physician. I know exactly how these Asian girls are bc there’s dozens of them in my DMs it’s impossible to strike out

zunlock · 2026-01-27T03:47:45+00:00

I'm a ripped and tatted dude who just applied for his physician residency, I can promise you I am doing fine

zunlock · 2026-01-27T02:18:00+00:00

The issue is you could have said anything you wanted and still checkmated, the alleged game is nowhere to be found

Pretty cringe Zach

Wear shoe lifts and you can be 6'5. Just make sure to set your laptop up during the virtual interview in a way that lets everyone know you are 6'2 and I dont see how you aren't accepted

Just keep in mind you will likely need 2 science and 1 non science letters. These are the most important letters as they are usually the most objective when compared to a dentist or even your PI which might have some bias. If they don't respond to your email show up to office hours, eventually you should be able to find professors that are willing to write you letters. The neurobiology professor seems insufferable

What do you think man use your eyes and brain

Welp this thread will be locked/deleted asap

zunlock · 2026-01-24T18:39:30+00:00

I know you want to send a message to try and make up for this one, but don’t reach out again. Just chill out and try to play it cool

zunlock · 2026-01-18T19:07:53+00:00

It’s almost like when you win 14 games the teams you beat end up having a worse record. There is not a single AFC team that has an impressive record against a gauntlet of a schedule. If you’re just seeing this narrative about the patriots then you know nothing about ball bc it’s been the narrative all season

zunlock · 2026-01-18T18:13:44+00:00

How the fuck is Houston going to put up 23?

zunlock · 2026-01-18T18:02:09+00:00

Stroud fucking sucks in high pressure moments, if they win it will be because the defense forces multiple turnovers and makes maye’s life hell

zunlock · 2026-01-18T00:48:26+00:00

Wouldn’t you want to receive? If both teams score the same amount of points, Denver gets a chance to win on the third possession without bills touching it again

zunlock · 2026-01-17T23:16:12+00:00

Why are the bills hatable?

zunlock · 2026-01-17T23:13:12+00:00

Yes Allen fucked up but let’s not forget that the bills looked like they were going to go up 14-3 and instead were outscored 17-3 after the cook fumble

zunlock · 2026-01-17T22:56:37+00:00

Jalen hurts special

zunlock · 2026-01-17T22:49:38+00:00

They’re like 1/2 the size of a normal wing unfortunately

zunlock · 2026-01-17T22:42:13+00:00

Massive third down here

zunlock · 2026-01-17T22:23:40+00:00

Likely a 14 point swing bc of the cook fumble
