Was scheduled to take exam September 3rd-4th but took a practice exam and realized that I basically remember nothing and my studying has basically been for nothing. I want to schedule it for January and apply to a post-bacc research program by me. I have tried anki, khan academy, mismatch of chadsprep and theorganichemistrytutor, etc, and it is like I can vaguely understand half of the topics but not enough to apply them to MCAT questions and the other half I have not learned. Partially due to using so many different methods of studying and learning and confusing myself and not being done with content review. Trying to start up content review form the ground up. Have k

Mayo clinic or Emory?

❔ Discussion

Have to pick between emory superr program or mayo clinic surf. They are both amazing even though I am leaning towards mayo clinic since I live in the same city as the campus I was accepted in so I would just stay on campus and commute in a place I am familiar with or emory where I grew up by emory but the traffic is god awful. Opinions?

minirant/ Started volunteering at a big name hospital. They wasted an entire fall semester of my time applying so that I pretty much started in the end of december until now. On their website when I applied and in the interview I was promised the ability to get patient interaction and to learn about how everything works and possibly shadow. I made it clear that was indeed why I applied. Now I do nothing but file papers and write down mrn numbers for the secretaries.The volunteer coordinator made it sound like she was going to talk to the head of the department and let them know I wanted to shadow and to at least let me see how everything works. But this supposed conversation never happened.

Still listed as dependent. My parents make like 100-200 dollars under the amount to qualify. But for me I don't have a job and so I used financial aid. Does the amount of "Financial Aid Awarded for Living Expenses" affect my chances of getting approved? I am going to have to call them anyway because I took to fall to summer and spring classes so the cost of attendance sheet and my financial award letter is kinda confusing combined with my scholarships and everything.

So this summer I am studying for the mcat and taking classes. I was in a car accident last October and started back walking fully in about February/march so I didn't really try to get anything this summer. But I emailed a doctor who happens to be a research mentor at a big university and told him about my research experience as an reu student the year before and related it some of his articles and to my surprise he emailed me back and told me to apply with him as my mentor and that he was looking forward to it. I was wondering should I like email him again when I'm applying in like august as in a "hey its me I just put in my application looking forward to you reading it" type of way or woul

I mean, I am definitely attracted to the idea of guys and gay porn and everything, although I have never done it and for some reason doing it in real life seems nowhere near as appealing as it does in my own mind. I thought I had no attraction to women but a friend of mine had her breast on me as I was helping her with a lab and I realized I got sort of aroused. Normally I don't feel the same way I do when seeing a guy as I do a girl but sometimes on a rare occasion I do. Its like imagining it with guys in my head is hot while with girls it isn't while irl a girl touching me is hot while a guy isn't. I haven't done anything with either sex as I am so busy but I'm just confused. Anybody else

Applying for another internship. I have presented at a state and school one as well since but the national one was my first, and I had even gotten a travel grant for it. Unfortunately on my way there in October I was in a accident that left me in the hospital for a month and unable to walk or do much of anything until the past few months. And by that I mean I got rammed into a tree at 60 mph and pulled myself out of the car with a severe femoral fracture. Can I still list it even though I physically couldn't make it?

Tl;Dr Grandparents suck sometimes but you still love them. Don't read all of this I didn't know how much I ranted till I finished lol.

Not a lady but I'd figure some of y'all might relate to this rant. Omg old entitled southern religious black folk get exhausting. She(grandma on mothers side) is nitpicky, controlling, micromanaging, judgmental. Now my mom is making it seem like she is starting to get to the age where she is lonely and sensitive but I pointed out she doesn't act like it the way she acts. Besides the toddler I am the only grandchild who a. visits her let alone on a daily basis. b. isn't on drugs c. isn't in jail d. isn't all around fucked up e. only calls or sees her to get m

Excuse my stupid questions as I am a newbie. I'm a biology undergrad who does programming for fun sometimes and I am currently learning machine learning. I want to give myself something to practice with so I was wondering what kind of data can be used from rcsb.org to make a dataset and what kind of neural networks would be good for that type of data and what would said neural network be used to classify or predict. I notice if I click on a protein I get pdb, fasta, and other formats of sequences. I have seen some stuff that uses techniques like one hot encoding to turn sequences into data but I am just a complete newbie. Could anybody steer me in the right direction? Not even sure what to f

I wish the team would have literally put in this EXACT same energy that they used to beat the shit out of thawne to fuck up cicada. Like when they had her knocked out, flash and caitlyn should have just rag dolled her back and forth. Maybe stomped on her head a couple of times to make sure. And when cisco used his powers I forgot he had them to be honest. Why didn't cisco just vibe the bitch to a different earth when she was in the container. I swear gypsy or daisy from agents of shield would have put in some work on cicada with just straight hands.

I guess that whole Oliver living until 70's thing was shit lol. But foreal tho that ending was just depressing. After what a decade of hell torture and loss, he still doesn't get a happy ending. They tried to messily bring it full circle by tying his sister to the ship being destroyed which set in motion the show, and by letting Oliver place all of that anger and loss unto her and resolving his character arc with her death, and even Tommy showing up. But it just feels cheap. The man earned being able to peacefully raise William and Mia and having a legacy of the many times he saved the city. But instead both his children grow up with abandonment issues over him, all the sacrifice went to shi
