Dude, no one's inclined to help you. Quit begging for something you're not going to get.

that is uncalled for. i havent said anything remotely offensive as this. oh and ive had bf of 4 yrs...thank you.
Anyhow, by saying that i am ungratefull/unknowledgable/undeserving is unfair. I have busted my ass getting into my undergrad college and i am busting my ass to get into medschool.
you people really need to stop being so bitter.

Just Joshin,
i have volunteered and done emergency room work. i plan on doing research during my 3rd yr. Please don't discredit what i have done because you find my personality to "arrogant". i find you personality to be abrasive. Please don't tell people you are a part of my race...the human race.

i think what they mean is it would be much easier to have your MD by the age of 30 so that you can have kids after that.
...lets be honest, having kids in medschool/residency would NOT be ideal.
PreLifePrincessIdiot:
I will be 28 and married when I start med school next summer. I will probably have children while in med school too. I want them, my future wife wants them, and we'll get by...
It will take me 4 years to graduate from undergrad with a degree in Public Health.
For the record, if you want to know the degree of my discipline, I'd like you to know that I served 5 years in a special operations unit in the US military. I earned 2 combat action ribbons, one of which was earned in Iraq, the other in West Africa. I was also promoted meritoriously a few times as well.
I'm not telling you this in an attempt to brag, I'm just telling you so you understand that I have every bit of discipline that you have, and yet it is still going to take me 4 years to graduate.
Also, before you tell me that I was "unprepared" prior to going to school, trust me when I tell you that I wasn't.
Have you ever stopped and thought about your situation before? I mean, you think that you are just....SO MUCH smarter than everyone else? Really, you think that you are the ONLY person who works hard at school?
So, out of the entire population of premeds out there, you are so far ahead of everyone else that you have earned the right to call them slackers?
You are a joke IMO. There is such a divide in maturity between you and everyone else that it is laughable that you would even think about engaging anyone here in conversation without asking permission first...
You've taken 2 or 3 MCAT prep courses so far? Really...
When? What courses were they? I don't think you know what you're talking about. Those programs must have been great for you given the fact that you don't even have but a scratch of the required courses yet!!!!!
And you're going to take a few more?
A few more of the courses that cost $1500?
Finally, you stuck your tongue on the maturity litmus paper (and it said "idiot") when you started accusing all of us of "taking you the wrong way." Are you stupid and immature that you can't even read what you previously wrote?
Wait...
I've wasted enough of my time in this thread...
Good luck to you...
i really truly did not mean to offend anyone. people are just way too sensitive nowaday.
Options: Spend a summer (or two) working (at a real internship), spend a summer abroad, pick up a language (unless you're a plastic surgeon, a good chunk of your patient are only going to speak Spainish BTW, also Spain is a great place to learn Spanish),
fyi, i enjoy life very much. some things you shoulf know: I graduated HS at age 18 and a half so ide 21 and a half going into med-school. I took 3 summer classes before my first yr at UCLA...i also took a speech class and humanities class@ a CC my last semester of HS. And I know im going to come off as an arogant twit, but, I was born ad raised in Malibu california. My parents are well off and ive enjoyed life quite a bit. I want a change, i want to leave socal.
Studying abroad sounds like fun but i wouldn't do that for a whole yr. Probably do it my last summer before medschool. As for preparing for the MCATs, i have taken 2 courses with kaplan and princeton review...i plan on taking 2-3 more before the test. My EC's are pretty solid, i think. I volunteered for my dad and his partners for over 200 hrs, and ive volunteered in the ER over at LA general. I have yet to get a research position but i think i will accomplish that studying abroad or whatever.
thanks glamqueen, let me know how it feels being a 35 yr old pregnant resident.
OP, you are obviously a very bright and talented girl. One thing you might consider doing is applying that excellent mind of yours toward earning yourself a scholarship for the rest of college and maybe even med school. That way, your parents won't have to pay for your school, and you will have a new accomplishment to be proud of. If it's too late for you to get the UG scholarship, I think the idea to study abroad was a good one. If you have family in Persia or France, you might learn one of those languages and go to one of those countries. Getting a scholarship to medical school is very difficult, but you have a shot at doing it if you have excellent stats and you make yourself as well-rounded as possible.to you. 🙂
thank you so much for the kind words. i will very seriously look into studying abroad for sure. as for scholarships, i have never considered it. my dad told me that the household needs to be in certain income bracket to qualify.
Point 3: And....you're showing your naivete more with each sentence. A research position while studying abroad. Yeah - good luck with that. If it's a foreign country, you have to demonstrate fluency in that language before they'll let you near a lab. ...In countries like England or Australia, you'd probably have to show that you've worked in a lab before they let you near one of theirs. They'd probably want to make sure the butter-fingered American doesn't f!ck up their research.
ok. well, there was no need for the previous condescending remarks.
i clearly dont have everything figured out and am open to suggestions, which is why i am on here seeking help in the first place. i liked the studying abroad idea and i will pursue it, but to talk to me like im an ignorant child is uncalled for.
Nope, that's not true. Sure, some grants or scholarships are need-based, but that's not what you'd be shooting for. I'm talking about MERIT scholarships. You get those for having excellent grades, ECs, and test scores. Financial need doesn't enter into it. I don't know what they do in your state (I'm from FL), but I received a merit scholarship from my state to go to four years of college (tuition plus living expenses) since I stayed in-state. (I could have finished in 3.5 years, but it was free, so I stayed the extra semester.) As nice as it is to have your parents' support to back you up, it would be even better if you could earn at least part of your own way. Plus, you could list the scholarship on your AMCAS as an award you've received. You might try making an appointment with the financial aid office at your school and asking them if you'd qualify for any merit scholarships. It's worth asking. 🙂thank you so much for the kind words. i will very seriously look into studying abroad for sure. as for scholarships, i have never considered it. my dad told me that the household needs to be in certain income bracket to qualify.
wow this is getting ridiculous.
the slacker comment was a reflection of what i have observed amongst friends. if you choose to personalize my comments that is your fault...not mine.

The person I know did this:
First year:
Gen chem, Bio, math, core requirements
Second year:
OChem
Bio electives
Biochem
electives/requirements
Third Year:
Physics
a language
core requirements
so yes, it is possible. Could you really not figure this out on your own?
(line of thinking: give her an answer and she'll have less of a reason to repy and add to the mess)
im a nice person. im sure medschool interviewers would love me!
and this is why med schools have interviews...
OP, while there are lots of people who certainly have the booksmarts to handle various academic accomplishments, a good possession of common sense is another matter, and that is where you are severely lacking. You're going to take 4 of 5 MCAT classes!? before even taking the pre-reqs!? Sorry, but no one who does that possesses the common sense for admission to schools.
There is a reason why the VAST MAJORITY of posters are telling you the EXACT SAME THING. It's because if you follow through with your current plans, YOU WILL NOT GET INTO MED SCHOOL. That's not meanness, it's the flat out truth. Students and MDs on the med school admissions committe won't be as harsh, they'll simply email you a link that says "we are no longer considering your file."
not funny.
I gave you the answer to your extremely simple question. Further information: take your MCAT your second year because you need to send out applications summer after your 2nd year to matriculate after your 3rd year.
There's your answer. What else do you want?
you are not an authority on whether i will get into medschool or not.
if you think dad and mom being doctors and having a decent GPA from a state school (granted, a good one) with minor research are enough to overcome your certainly awful LORs and get you into medical school, i'd suggest applying caribbean. this may shock you but there are hundreds of people exactly like you.
edit for further usefulness: every school i applied to required an undergrad to be completed before matriculation. where exactly were you planning on going?
i wanted to know how someone that graduated in 3 yrs did it specifically. what exact classes they took and when they took them. i want to know this so that i can better prepare myself as i compare and contrast my schedule with theirs.
do you get it now?
lol
in my opinion, you wont get into medschool.
🙂
Sorry, I'm already in. Thanks for playing though! 👍
sure you are. QuakerPreMed
get a life
Congratulations, your use of both bold and italics obviously negates the hell I and countless others went through for 13+ months (April 2006 MCAT represent) to gain admission to medical school.
Polynikes: it's really hard to tell who is a troll around here and who is honestly that stupid, isn't it? man oh man...

Seriously...
I don't believe that this chick took, what was it, "two or three" MCAT prep courses.
It doesn't make sense at all to me. She just finished her first year of college, but has already taken 2 or 3 MCAT preps?
What, was she taking them concurrently? During high school even?
She also says she's a Bio major, but won't take her first Bio class until Sophomore year? Isn't that what she said? I might have read that wrong, but that doesn't even matter IMO.
She did say that she was going to study abroad, and knock out some research while doing that....LMAO at that....
Alright....the jig is up.
Are you a student at UCLA or UCSD?

It doesn't take much to do a post search, anyone can do it and changing your story about who you are doesn't help the case. Besides, with our super powers, the Mods and I have been able to see that your ISP isn't from Southern California.
I suppose you are at your parent's summer home?
Sorry, but I love catching liars.![]()
