I have a 501 mcat and 3.7 gpa and I’m slowly chipping away at secondaries. I still have a lot left but I need to take a week off for work because I’m running my local county fair. I’ve been feeling super stressed because ChatGPT is telling me I’m late and it’s not ideal with my stats. I just didn’t prepare my application sooner because I thought I failed the MCAT. When I saw I passed I started hustling.

I DONT want to retake the mcat. I wanna get into a school this year. I’m so scared I fucked up. This week I won’t be able to complete secondaries but I stilll have KCU, UNECOM, and a new DO school primary I can submit so I’ll work on that.

Am I cooked by not getting the secondaries in writhing 14 days? Is there any point submitting secondaries the first week of September with my stats ?

I am working 60h this week at my local county fair as an EMT. This is something I scheduled myself in advance and plus I need the money. I’ve spent so much on applications and still have 2/3 is secondaries left.
People say to get the secondaries in by September 7 but that means if I don’t do much this week with the fair I’m going to have to hustle 2 secondary submitting a day. So far it takes me a full day to only for 1.
I’m a bit low stat 3.7 gpa but 501 mcat and I’m feeling so defeated. Seeing people getting acceptances is just lowering my confidence as I only got one and it’s to LECOM, a school that gives out interviews to everyone.

Ermmmm I thought all of them had virtual. This process is starting to get really fucking expensive. I just submitted secondaries to my BUCOM, DUQNCOM, and Valley and I’m getting mixed things about the interviews they offer. Can any body provide a comprehensive list of all DO schools that only do in person interviews ?

Some schools let you choose whilst others allow for a preference. Before spending money I was wondering if I would be able to choose.

Submitted primaries first week of August. Got the email and I was floored when I saw the interview in December. Am I cooked? Is that normal for this school? I thought August was applying early still

Submitted primary and just realized they only do in person interviews. From what I’ve read I really like this school but I live in the Midwest. I have ties to Arizona but it’s an expensive trip to go in person. Anybody have success asking them for accommodations ?

I dont wanna draw too much attention to my bad sophomore year grades. I have a U shaped trend. Wondering if it might be more meaningful to discuss other ideas. At the same time, the most jarring thing about my application is my grades.

Turning 23 and feel unfulfilled. As per usual, I feel sad on my birthday. Every body thinks im put together and career wise, I am. I just feel like some areas are missing in my life like I dont feel like I do enough 20s typical outings or behaviors and I want to. This year tho instead of moping, im on reddit asking yall what are some positives?

I had the first but then they broke down on me. I loved them tho.

My only concern with the 2nd gen is that i heard that the ANC is a lot better and im worried how that will impact my ear.

I know im not the only one, but sometimes ANC headphones give me ears a stuffy feeling and flare my tintinitus. And yes, i did get a hearing test done and its normal. i just get weird ear symtoms sometimes. I had those symtoms with the first gen at first but then it went away over time, not sure how 2nd gen will be like

Has any one has issues with the 2nd gen giving you ear issues or anything that makes them uncomfortable?

I have a good mcat of 3.7 but mcat bad at 502. I just wanna get into med school honestly, I know with my stats I cant be too choosy. But at least I wanna be in a location I like. I want to go somewhere that is more populated, has major city vibes, lots of people around for my well being.

I want to go to Burrells Melbourne FL campus but not sure if I would be open to Las Cruces NM. I want to increase my chances of getting it but I was wondering how the vibes are there for current students. Do a lot of people take weekend trips to El Paso?

If i havent attended any info session am I basically cooked for asking the question "Why X school." Some schools are so vague in their website. Struggling to not sound generic. Any advice?

Are signatures and headers necessary? I already submitted my apps

For many, not all, I just put weeks from start date to now if I still did it. I adjusted some volinteers activities that i didnt do much like less than 1h a week and altered the weeks to reflect the total hours because for some stuff I can see on an online platform my total hours for volinteering. But some volinteering im not sure about. Like I know I worked a bunch of hours for it and I have a best guess but i dont know how many weeks.

Some volinteering I need a lot of every week but only during breaks and my gap year. Should I put weeks from start to now, mark per diem and move on, or what?

some weekly hours dont make sense because I did it during breaks and stuff. I did a lot of hours of research during the school year and not want my part time job in my hometown to make it seem like I was doing research AND that job

I put N/A for now is that okay?

I only took level one behavior sciences mannnnn, noooooo

I have writing intensive courses but in subjects like philosophy and ethics, some courses about writing but they arent writing intensive, and one course on literature. Im going to pick literature as one of the prereques but what should my second course be?

My sgpa is 3.5. I have good clinical experience like 911 EMS, nationals in dance, lots of research (no pubs). Lots of hours, learned a lot no crazy Harvard like activities or anything tho. Right now I am wrapping up DO primaries but I was wondering if I should shoot my shot with any MDs? Im allready applying broad to a lot of DOs and have to ask my parents for money idk idk. My parents are willing to support and are able to support but I wanna pay them back eventually and its starting to be a lot. I would love to go MD but not sure if its realistic

They give you space for 2000 characters, which is lowkey a lot. How much where yours in length? Like for me one question that I have to explain is if I have any withdrawels and I can find enough stuff to write 2000 characters on but idk I feel so behind in this app already. Also my PS is written very story like, very flowy, very whimsicial in terms of the syntax and flow and stuff do I need to carry over that same style into my program specific essays?

Honestly stuff from Freshman Year and sophomore year has vaporized from my brain. Doesnt help that I also took a gap year. I wanna be honest and have been trying my best to find exact numbers but a lot of the info I find is impartial. Like I will find a start date but not an end, and it feels like estimating my hours. Is that okay? I wanna be honest

Scary stuff at work. I was accused falsley at work of making someone feel uncomfortable. HR just gave me an informal warning. I believe this person is trying to find ways to fire me because they sent me unsolicited videos months prior. I did not respond. The evidence didnt save and I didnt report for a variety of reasons, one being fear. It was a mistake.

Im most worried about my future. I eventually want to apply for certain licenses and they ask stuff like "have you ever been part of a work investigation" "have you ever been disiplined by a employer." I dont want to get myself in any of those situations that require me to hit yes and explain.

Right now, I dont need to click yes on any of those license boxes but Im worried if I bring forth my side it will become and investigation and im scared for what the outcome will be. I decided not to report at this time. Luckily I dont work with this person often but I have crippling anxiety about the situation.

What if he complaints about me again? an investigation gets launched and it becomes a he said she said. What will HR do in these circumstances?
