i'm still waiting for my letters of recommendation to come in, and i am taking my OAT at the end of september. however, i've gotten a handful of automated emails from schools saying that i should submit ASAP, and that i don't need to wait for these things to come in. i'm just wondering if i should atleast wait for the letters? i am aware that i will likely be put on hold until my OAT anyway - does applying early make a difference?

i am applying to SUNY and saw that the new syracuse campus is pending accreditation. i am wondering if it is a safer choice to apply to the main campus instead? i would prefer not to due to costs. what happens in the event that the syracuse campus does not attain accreditation? also, do you believe that the board scores will remain consistent among both campuses?

i consider myself good at memorizing, so my strengths are definitely biology and orgo. however, when it comes to subjects like physics & gen chem, i struggle A LOT. i had to retake these courses in my undergrad.

for memorizing content, all i need to do is put it into anki the day i learn it. it essentially does all of the work for me, and all i have to do complete my due cards. however, it's not the same with physics & gen chem. yes, i can watch the videos, do the content, and do the associated practice problems. however, i definitely feel like i gradually forget most of the content, especially as i learn more.

i'm wondering how i can ensure that i am reviewing frequently and efficiently enough for these subjects that are heavy on practice questions. for instance, once i finish watching videos & doing questions, how do i proceed? WHEN do i review again (should i aim to mimic anki)? do i redo the same questions, or different ones? should i only be doing practice problems, or concept review too? should i make anki cards?

thanks so much :') i've watched a ton of youtube videos of people who scored well, and everyone just says "practice, practice, practice". i just need more elaboration on what this consists of, particularly as tasks incorporated into a daily study routine.
