Hey so I live in Canada and here it’s incredibly hard to get into med school. Out of 15,000 applicants only 2000 get accepted which is around a 20% chance acceptance rate. I recognize this and I’m seriously scared of me not getting in by the time when I do apply. So starting now I would like to build habits today that could help me be prepared for the tests. So I came here to ask experienced students of med school. Any habits I should build?

Hey so I want to know what signs or behaviors show that someone might have an above average IQ or average. I want to take a real IQ test but they cost too much money. Free online tests are hard for me because English is not my first language and my home language is rare so I cannot find tests in it. The English words on tests make it hard to understand on what it’s telling me. A bit about me I love the sciences and have a deep intense curiosity about how things work, i always ask random "what if" or "why" questions about the world and I sometimes even like connecting them with different topics.
I like using logic to solve problems, but if a problem is too hard, my brain just gives up. I also struggle with word problems in math. I can solve normal math equations easily, but the long words in word problems confuse me. Does any of this could be a sign of above or average iq

Hey so I mostly just do strength training at the gym, but I've been wanting to get faster lately because I'm thinking about joining track next year for my school. How should I train my body for speed? Also is there an effective way to use treadmills for sprint training or would it be better to just use land?

What program would be most effective for me?

Thanks!

Hey I wanted to mention an issue I’ve been running into. Whenever I am running (whether it’s in track or playing basketball) my core and lower back end up hurting or feeling the burn rather than my legs like the quads or hamstrings. The lower back pain tends to sometimes stick around throughout the day not when I’m resting it’s usually when I’m bending over to grab something heavy then when I straighten up it hurts but before I did any running activities it wouldn’t hurt as much when grabbing heavy things. I find myself avoiding fully straightening my back because I can feel an uncomfortable sensation in my lower back when I do. I don’t think it would be an older age problem because I’m 16.

Hey I am just curious abt my beard I’ve been growing it for abt 19 days (since June 21st) and was wondering if by week 10 if I would look different and how long would my beard be. Would ppl see a difference within my face? (I’ve always stay shaved)
