I will be a non-matriculant at a university, so I will only be taking upper level science courses. I was planning to take three 300 - level courses. Is that too much?

Hi guys, So I started prepping for my step 1 almost 6 months ago. I was done with kaplan and uworld. I wasn't doing great on uw. I was primarily using it as a learning tool. I ended my first pass with a 57%. And I scored like a 220 on offline nbme 15. Anyway, I became disheartened and I decided...

Hello everyone! As the title states, I am a non-traditional student and I am hoping to apply to medical school (MD and DO) in 2019. I am 26, a URM, a former high school English teacher (3 years in a foreign country). I have a cGPA of 3.6something and have only completed one science class so...

Alright, not sure how to start this besides talking about how I don't know how to start this so I'll just jump right in. I do quite a bit of stand up comedy and find it incredibly relaxing and fulfilling when I'm not hitting the books and or in lab. I'm no rising star by any means, but I run my...

Hello all. I'm an accepted medical student finishing up undergrad this semester. Although I am an organized person, with the abundance of material and scheduled events in medical school (quiz, exam, whatever) I know I will have a somewhat difficult time keeping up with everything. I'm looking...

I'm struggling to get through the readings in the review books (ExamKrackers) since it's boring. Also I find I do not learn as well from just reading and do better if it is taught outloud in a lecture. I know Khan Academy offers MCAT review videos and was wondering if just watching those and...

Hey everyone, Last semester, I had to take Calc for the life and social sciences, basically an applied calc class, because there was only one calc 1 class and it was full. However that class was not the same as taking actual Calc 1 as they omitted practically all of trig, exponential, and log...

Hi! I am a second year MD student taking the step 1 in july 20. My semester ends May 11 which gives me about 9 weeks to prepare. Anyone has any suggestion or tip on how to prepare during those 9 weeks if I'm aiming for 240s? Things to do and things to avoid doing. I have uWorld, Rx, Pathoma...

Hey guys! I'm going to be applying for vet school this year and Tufts is my dream school! I was just wondering what your course schedule is like (for all years!) and a description of each course, what they allow you to do, etc... Just want to know what I'm getting myself into :) thanks!

(especially his...

Hey guys! I was just curious on sample timelines for pursuing an undergraduate biology degree (sample class schedules, when I should start studying for MCAT, when should I start volunteering, when should I apply to medical schools, etc). Any help at all is greatly appreciated! As well, what...

I'm starting pre vet in the spring. A huge concern of mine is balancing work, school and getting the experience hours I need to apply to vet school. I'm nervous because it's hard to find online science classes due to labs (which are time consuming and makes it harder to work), be able to work to...

Hey SDN, Im going to Study for the MCAT in December and plan on taking my MCAT May 5th. Giving me about 5 months. I will also be in school but am taking a light load. I have been trying to make a study schedule that is personalized to me. Anyone willing to help. I have Kaplan 7 subject...

Hi Everyone!! I'm looking for a 6 month MCAT study plan using TPR and AAMC materials mainly. I plan on taking the MCAT in May and I'm going to start studying in November, giving me six months. If anyone has a plan they would like to share I would really appreciate it. Any tips will help too...

Hi all, I have an interview at PCO this upcoming Monday (9/25), and I was wondering if anyone who has interviewed there this cycle can offer any advice. The email says it's a 4-5 hour long day with the interview, information sessions, and a tour. Can anyone outline a rough schedule of events /...

Hello friends, You can see more of my background in my other posts, but I'm basically just a little bit off the usual schedule and I have a more specific question. Lots of people on SDN say that biochem is almost necessary to do well on the MCAT, but I currently don't plan on taking it. There's...

Hello, I'm going to be a freshman in the fall with the intention of being an IMS major, most likely pre-med. I just wanted some opinions on my schedule, because I have quite a bit of uncertainty regarding what classes to add, or which would be better to drop. I feel like I'm not doing enough...

Hi everyone, so due to situations which arose this summer leading to me needing to take weeks off at a time from studying, I'm not quite where I'd like to be yet with my scores and think I might be better off cancelling my MCAT test date in order to take it later on. So far, my FL scores on TPR...

I'm concerned about my workload for next semester; I'm currently taking Orgo 1 + Lab, Human Physiology, Genetics, and a gen ed philosophy class. This is 16 credits total, which I normally would not worry about, but several people have advised that taking human physiology and genetics together is...

Hello all, I am a rising sophomore attending a low-tier regional state school. I am no longer happy with my current school academically and will be applying for a junior transfer spot at a few schools in the USNWR's top 20-40. With that in mind, how should I fill up these next two semesters...

Hi everyone! I will be a sophomore this coming fall and I am a Psychology and Biology major. I made the conscious decision to not take biology or chemistry my first year simply because I was moving from a very small town to a very very large university and wanted the first year to get...

Hi everyone! Taking my DAT for a second time in about 35 days. Was wondering your input on this study schedule. Materials: DAT Destroyer Chad's Videos Cliff's AP Bio DAT Bootcamp DAY 1 sample: Read Cliff’s AP biology chapter 1 (Chemistry) and chapter 2 (Cells) as well as the...

Hi all, So.. I'll try to be nice and concise/organized with this...(but no promises)! I'm currently a Junior at a large state university. I plan on taking the MCAT in May 2018. My current plan is to take as many possible pre-MCAT courses as I can in the Fall 2017 semester (Cell Bio, Biochem...

Hi all, I'm taking my test on 5/19 so starting tomorrow it'll officially be 19 days till my test. I work full time so it's been kinda tough, but I've been pulling through. I took the MCAT for the first time on April 2015 and scored a 499 (126,126,125,122). I was still in school at the time and...

Does anyone know if any Mt. Sinai hospitals in NYC schedule 10-hour staff pharmacist shifts (day, evening or graveyard) as opposed to the standard 8-hour shift?

Hello all, I've been studying for my MCAT for approximately 4 weeks now, but i keep feeling like i'm forgetting stuff. I'm currently spending about 5-6hours 6 days a week doing 3 CARS passages then reading and taking notes on a chapter. I'm wondering if i should just continue running through...

With a somewhat lighter class schedule this semester (I'm a second semester freshman), I have been able to take on a bit more activities outside of classes; however, I've had so many opportunities this semester, I'm afraid I'm taking on too much. I work as a piano accompanist/teacher, so I...

I've just started studying for my MCAT again a few days ago, and was curious how other people planned out their days and what were some things you all did to make 5+ hours of study per day not feel so long and feel like you still have a life! So far it hasn't felt bad at all, but i'm always...

This will be my second semester as a freshman, and I am planning to take the following: Bio I w/ lab Physics II w/ lab Chem II w/ lab Elementary Spanish This amounts to 16 credits, plus 1 credit for undergraduate research. Is this too full a schedule to do (including research), along with...

Hello SDN members, It's my first time posting in the student doctor network board. I just graduated high school in June of this year, but I took some college classes and entered college in August with 64 credit hours so I am technically a junior. I go to UNC-Wilmington and my original plan was...

Hello SDN, I spent a lot of time reading breakdowns and study advice on SDN before my DAT, so I hope I can help some future students with my own. Since most pre-dental students are from a science background, I’m hoping I can add some input from an Engineering side. DAT Breakdown: AA...

This semester my University success coach advised that I take Biological Lit, Physics I, Cellular Biology, and Genetics (3 labs in total). This schedule was suggested opposed to substituting Genetics for Calculus (this is for a spring semester, so they suggested I take Calc I and Calc II back...
