Feeling so defeated. The average was around a 80 and I got a 60%. want to give up. I tried everything but maybe I’m just not smart enough? Everyone seems to be getting it down especially with that high of an average.

What do I do now?

For context, I watched all the videos, took notes on all the videos, and barely did any practice problems. How do you guys get through all the content, and master it so quickly? I would love any and all advice on study methods that worked for you. I have a flipped classroom and we have biweekly exams. It feels I’m always playing catchup

I’m starting this year and I’m moving somewhere I’ve never been before with no one next to me. I am honestly scared shitless and have panic attacks because I don’t want to leave my family and loved ones forever. Medical school is my dream and has been for such a long time, and I know I’m very fortunate to be in this position. Just so many emotions!!

I would love to hear some success stories from medical school to change my thinking. Please share ♥️

PLS HELP MEEEE

I’m trying to understand a financial arrangement my partner proposed and whether it actually benefits me or just sounds good on paper. He is a medical student (M4). He proposed that once he starts earning, he would give me 10% of his income each month, transferred into my separate account.

A few key details he clarified:

It would be 10% of his net income (after taxes)

It would be paid before his personal expenses (“before bills”)

It only applies during marriage

If we divorce, it stops, but I would get alimony depending on the court

He also said this is based on his religious/moral belief (fear of Allah), not something meant to be purely legal or contractual. At first it sounded meaningful, but I’m trying to think through the practical side:

If I already have access to shared household money, is this actually extra benefit or just moving money around?

Since it stops at divorce, does it actually provide long-term security?

Because it’s not formal/legal, how reliable is something like this in real life?

Does this kind of arrangement actually work long-term in marriages, or does it usually fall apart or become irrelevant over time?

I’m not trying to assume bad intent or anything, I just want to understand whether this is actually a strong financial structure or more of a symbolic gesture.

Would appreciate honest perspectives, especially from people who’ve seen similar arrangements or have experience with marriage finances.

lmk if u have any questions

got off the waitlist and gave it up good luck :)

I will be starting soon and I am just curious to hear from current students or anyone that has experience with the school because it is so new?

to all current med students: what’s one thing you wish you knew before starting medical school?

i’ll be starting this june 2026 and would love any advice on habits, routines, studying, maintaining balance, making friends, or anything else that helped you succeed during your first year.

also to all my incoming med students - how are we feeling and preparing for the transition?!!

hi guys! i’m starting med school this year and honestly feeling really nervous about making friends and finding the right group of people. i’m pretty outgoing, but i also don’t want to come off as trying too hard since we’ll all be together for such a long time lol.

i also don’t know anyone in my class yet, and i’m moving somewhere pretty rural, which makes everything feel even more intimidating. does anyone have advice for making friends early on or navigating the social side of starting med school? thanks!!

Ive gotten an A from Touro Montana and a provisional A from Baptist Health Sciences College of Medicine- not sure which to pick??

I would be closer to home if I chose BUCOM, however I know it's a newer school. Montana would be in the middle of nowhere so I'm hesitant to move out there but know its much more reputable. Would love thoughts/advice on what should be prioritized!

• Lose a year

 

MT

Pros:
