it's rare i opt for white, a little too sweet for me. you've got me thinking about summer cookouts and sangria
 
actually, there was someone on here, forgot her sn, but she said she drank a couple glasses of wine the night before her mcat to fall asleep

ended up with a good score i believe

you've gotta try a perfect riesling with a good piece of chicken. awesome girl/diet food.

actually i just found a really unoaky chard that is awesome.


besides cabs it's rare i venture into reds (i'll have pinots if it goes with the food...otherwise it's too smokey) as much as i experiment with whites. my love for torrontes came from experimentation. love love love it.
 
yeah but she didn't get sloppy freshmen year drunk haha

no thanks. benadryl or etoh are a bad idea, at least for me, before a test. takes too long for the brain to recoop.
 
k i found verbal 7 to be tons easier than verbal 8-10, whereas PS and BS were ridiculous in 7. BS was soooo much ochem, wt f man.


anyway i'm gonna go not be on the internets and instead go hang out and then sleep


peaaace

Yeah that PS was the toughest section of any FL I've seen. Enjoy your socialization.
 
High yield stuff: Acids-Bases, Carbonyl Chemistry, periodic trends
 
FlowRate said:
Other high-yield stuff: going to a party (I made sure to party at least once a week while studying for the mcat), sleeping, practice tests.

😀

You all are going to rock the MCAT sooo hard!

That's been my plan all the way through. I had to stay sane.
 
It's going to be an awesome day! Just drove up to the mountains to go snowboarding. It's sunny, 51 degrees but feels warmer. Best of all it's not crowded at all. I love socal.
 
lol 5 of the last 6 posts are total filler bumping posts, now let's make it 6 out of the last 7 😛
 
msb i commented on your mdapps.

and i just noticed the name you have for your account. amazing. love it.

mcats suck

that is all

I locked myself in a room for 9 hours a day for 1 month straight, studying.

That was my mcat preparation, in its entirity. I'm hardcore like that. 😉
 
Crappy week 🙁 I need to focus MUCH more on the MCAT than I have, sooo difficult with so many exams...I feel like I'm only fooling myself 🙁 BF just left for Parris Island, ugh...need a hottub
 
curbye said:
the only time i did was when i was pledging...and i couldnt physically get to class sometimes. but i was taking mostly humanities that semester so it didn't really matter.

curbye, on your mdapps: make sure you add tufts, georgetown, maybe some florida state schools, etc. Pennsylvania is very unfriendly to its own state students.

PA is really mean. Pitt, Temple, and even Jeff give marginal benefit to PA state people, plus its such a big state. Even Penn State's medical school is private. Yes a private medical school at a public university.

Penn is so hard to get in as it is.

Florida has a lot of schools. Some are just opening up like FSU, FIU, etc.

Also, what about Chicago?
 
So since I'm going into rural med, am I wrong in thinking that this health care bill might actually be good for me? I didn't want to post this anywhere else since you guys are much nicer. Haha.

i'm definitely looking at fiu and fsu, but the others that are public are just tooooooo OOS unfriendly, right? and in terms of chitown, besides uill, i thought of rush...but idk, meh. i have that spreadsheet thingy and it says they have 28% OOS interview rate. that seems low to me...
 
Also, I want to say another thing:

Don't underestimate the difficulty of getting in somewhere in a big city like Boston, SF, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia, NY, Miami, etc.

Even at low-ranked schools, those places are insanely popular with narcissistic, entitled pre-meds who will often just apply there for the city life.

Be realistic about picking schools.

It's hard enough to get in anywhere that you should jump for joy at getting any place in a big city.

I didn't apply to Rush. I applied to UIC, interviewed and got in. Rush is newer though, but I didn't get an interview at Loyola, Nwestern or UChicago.

i'm not holding out hope for my boston, nyc, or miami schools. i'm willing to spend the money to take a chance, though.

I got into a place in Boston (Tufts), Philly (Temple), Chicago (UIC), and metropolitan NYC (Stony Brook, not the city though). I consider myself very VERY lucky.

i dont understand the draw to portland and seattle...

but then again i've never been
Click to expand...

Water, liberal politics, greenery? Secular humanism, coffee shops, mass transit, indie bookstores...
 
i like the idea of seattle being not terribly cold/snowy while being rather close to some epic shredding
 
Plus the city was the background for Frasier, my favorite sophisticated comedy show. 👍
