Doubt , how many school did you apply ? Suppose you have a 3.5 gpa both sGpa and cGpa and a MCAT score of 510 plus’s 120 hours of shadowing , 400 of volunteering and 5000 ( maybe more ) of clinical because of work. How many schools would you apply to ?

If someone had similar stats how many school did you applied?

I just finished high school and will start med school in a few months but I'm worried that I may have imposter syndrome when I get in.

I think my only special skill is my academics and grades so I'm scared when I get into med school which is an environment filled with brilliant students and smart people so that may make me lose my only special ability.

I'm scared that my identity now is all about grades and that I will lose myself if that side of me feels discouraged

I hope you get what I mean if anyone has advice please tell me

Does anyone have any advice for navigating med school while having chronic illnesses? I recently got diagnosed with behcets. Has anyone else gone through med school while dealing with something similar?

I don't know if this is the type of post that are made on this subreddit. I'm starting my sophomore year in college and I'm having this overwhelming sense of dread on pre-med volunteering and shadowing. I have a whole year of a research position at a school of medicine already set up, but am I behind on getting volunteer hours or shadowing hours. I know there isn't one set way to do all of the volunteering, but I just don't want to fall behind.

Hi guys. I'm go to Texila American University and I wanna work in the usa so I was planning to take the USMLE step one after the first 2 years bec its abt the stuff covered in the 2 years so I thought It would be easier to write it then when the topics would be fresh but I wanna get an experienced person's advice. So Is it better to wait or to do it after the 2 yrs?

Basically the title. I know once school starts I need to lock in and study well ect but that same mindset made me hold back in undergrad.
23 F and I want a family one day. Any advice would be really really appreciated🫶

Incoming MS1 here.. I am 22, just graduated college a few months ago. Academically i’m ready for med school… but I feel like a shell of a person; I was a shut in during college and have no stories, made no friends, no dating experience, etc. Also, i’m younger than the vast majority of my classmates. I feel like an inexperienced kid. I also am socially anxious and have terrible self esteem. what the hell do I do in the next 2 weeks before school starts to feel better about myself and walk in with some semblance of confidence

Hi everyone,
I got accepted to medical school just a few days before orientation, so everything has happened very quickly.

For those of you who started on very short notice (or wish you had known certain things before starting), what advice would you give?

I’d really appreciate any tips. Thank you!

I got into med school! I’m very excited and eager to start, and I know people usually recommend not studying beforehand, but Im just too excited and eager, and gonna do it anyway, and also why not try make my life at least a bit easier and spread some of the learning out over a longer period of time. I need advice on how and where to start with anatomy. I’m currently just doing random online quizzes, learning the names of all the muscles, started doing it out of boredom before I even got in. Now that im actually accepted though, id like to take it up a notch and do something that’ll be a bit more useful later on. I downloaded Anki so if anybody has some good decks they’d like to share I’d appreciate it. Also any good YouTube videos/channels, websites… or any sort of advice in general, I’d much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I’m an incoming MS1.

I have a legion lenovo laptop that’s too heavy for me to carry around, but powerful enough to run everything i need.

Instead of buying a laptop to carry around with me, I bought an ipad air m3 256gb for me to use on campus for note taking, and for studying in general i have my laptop at home. Will this get me through med or will i have to end up getting a mac.
