^^ oh my god, that's a lot of schools, are you from Florida? FSU has a huge instate bias
Also I want to mention that none of my schools are ranked in priority order.
I would say so. I can definitely get by. It's hard because I'm not familiar with the slang terminology and I sound pretty formal compared to my coworkers or my best friend.Are you fluent? That will help with UCI PRIME and maybe PR schools (if they're open to OOS).
I want to apply to 40 schools myself, but @Goro and others have advised against it due to secondary burn out. Did to you post in WAMC? I wish I could help, I'm not good with school lists yet.

I asked about the schools and doctors said if I have the means to afford applying to that many, do it. I'm going into overdrive now and won't be tired lol. I've entered almost a state of desperation
Absolutely do not apply to the Caribbean!!!
And, don't take UCLA off your list! Especially not Drew.
Whooaaa the advice on this thread is out of this world, and not in a good way. Yo, I almost want to say that from now on our questions should be asked in pre-allo. I'm not expert here, but some of these responses are sooooooooo off the mark. I love our community in this small forum, but the adcoms and faculty aren't here much, so we have to go to them. Us misonforming each other is not going to help this process.
Definitely wanted to qualify my comment with "correct me if I'm wrong". But I still think the list should try to be cut down
I also thought as URMs, we don't have state line boundaries set upon us as strictly. Since were desired, that's an advantage we have.
Message to self: check MSAR before commenting!! UW and UCLA accept a bunch of OOS-ers. Keep them! I'll edit that out of my other comment
I hope my story will catch the admission of their adcom :/You're awesome! UCLA is a little unique in their holistic review of URMs too. Everyone in Pre-allo was freaking out that their avg dropped to 508.

Hey everyone! does anyone have any advice for the Pscyh/soc section?
what is anki?Anki, flashcards was a way I made a dent in my score
These W&As and PS sections are theee worst
ok thanks I appreciate it@lk23 : WAMC stands for What Are My chances thread on SDN. Anki is a free program that allows you to create flashcards that test you with spaced repition to improve your memory of the terms. I agree with Joe. Making flashcards helped with P/S, which is a lot of memorization. Khan Academy is a pretty good supplement to the normal prep companies for that section, too
@Boros : Plan sounds good. Definitely do clinical volunteering and shadowing throughout the year to get more clinical exposure, maybe also starting the volunteering this summer. Your MCAT should definitely help you out!

So what have you guys heard about hairstyles? Particularly African American
Yea I think what's been stressed most is that it should look clean-cut and put together but most of all you should find a style you're most comfortable withI think I'm still going to keep my hair long on the top. I can't stop my hair journey, it's been a year without cutting it. I'll have to find something acceptable though.
i have kind of a high top fade going on right now
lol I'm also rocking a curly high top fade. No plans of cutting it but I'll probably get lined up/keep it clean if I get a interview. Good luck fam.I think I'm still going to keep my hair long on the top. I can't stop my hair journey, it's been a year without cutting it. I'll have to find something acceptable though.

LMAOO Truth.I'm thinking about a protective style depending on the the time of season. Either crochet braids or small senegalese twists. I just hope to avoid the whole "oh, you look different than your picture" comment from the schools that ask for headshots. I change my hair at work and people think I'm a new member of the team, lol. -_-
I'm going to go into that interview loud as hell. #BLM #HandsUpDontShoot #ICantBreathe #WhiteCoatsForBlackLives #Ferguson #Charleston #BaltimoreRiotslol I'm also rocking a curly high top fade. No plans of cutting it but I'll probably get lined up/keep it clean if I get a interview. Good luck fam.

Oh my god I just watched it this morning. She's a damn fool thinking she can speak on the power of education with her history, at an HBCU no less. I was really proud of those kids. But also wondering what the administration was thinking in inviting her...Anyone see the clip of Betsy DeVos at Bethune Cookman?
What did you guys think?
