I love this video! It’s so informative and gives such real advice, that I feel like most people don’t get at all! Your score, is the score I actually I ideally want, of course everybody says that probably, but this is the score I kind of need to probably have a good shot an MD school! Most people I’ve heard who get this high of score say that practice problems are really really key and eventually content doesn’t do anything for you just to keep worrying and focusing solely on it. Also I’ve heard people who get like 98%-100% score ranges say that focusing on the low low yield topics or details of say ochem or physics benefits you and you basically have to do this otherwise you don’t have a good chance of getting this high of score. What is your opinion and thoughts on this?
@AhmadShahin4 жыл бұрын
I agree that practice problems are critical but the reason I hesitate sometimes in emphasizing their importance is that people use it as an excuse to slack on content because "there's no way I can memorize it all anyway". But if you're doing your best then yes I agree and I also agree that you should get to the point where (after high yield info is down) you also focus on low yield info because that's another thing that's going to separate you from the pack imo. hope that helps!

Would an internship at a place working on cardiac devices or something of the sort (health-care related bioengineering internships) do the same for me on my medical school apps as direct patient-care jobs?
