A few ground rules. Everything you post must be RANDOM and more importantly, only peripherally related to the MCAT. See my example post below. I now await Beary's shirtless pic of Carl Edwards. C'mon Beary, A-man is dying to see it. 😀

This is Ana's example:

My, factually, better examples 😀 :

And one final thing. GO GATORS! GO AGGIES! My parents are A&M alum...

There aren't any available testing dates in October. 😡

I'm on autopsy in November so can't take it then. 😡

So I'm taking it December 6 + 7. A ways off. Maybe it's for the best.

Yeah it's run by people who still use 1970s technology. It's called the USMLE but is actually run by the "Federation of State Medical Boards." And you can't sign up on the internet, you have to call ON THE PHONE.

oh god, so it gets worst? :laugh:

step 1 at least has online registration but this explains the mailing of results crap with no online or phone reporting of scores.

beary should i tutor the sophomores on the gross anatomy of the extremities? not exactly my favorite stuff but they sent out the email today asking for 3rd and 4th year tutors and if i do it supposedly i can use it on ERAS as "work experience" even though its non-paid teaching. what do you think?

I would only do it if you wanted to (enjoyed teaching and wanted to refresh yourself on that stuff). I don't think ECs/work experience really matter at all for residency apps.

PS - It's BS that they don't pay you. I tutored when I was in med school but got paid $13/hr.

this is actually for the academic societies tutoring program so it is unpaid, its totally volunteer through the school.

i think i may do it just to refresh myself too, i have surgery in 4 months so it might do me some good to review the anatomy before then.
