I'm kind of in loverboy's situation. I also have a 3.1 (barely) and a 30 mcat. My hospital volunteering is under 85 hours; however, I had worked throughout college and had a child at 20 years old. Would medical schools take into consideration that I had to pay my way through school and take...

oneironaut It was the online mini practice test to which I was referring. I was not sure if you meant that test, or your own MCAT study materials. If you find some spare time to goof off and you haven't taken it, give the online test a try. I did well, with a pair of 9's on both of the...

Phew. I kind of assumed that, but its nice to hear it from somebody else. That makes me feel better. Thanks. Russ

Hey people Thought maybe some of you would appreciate this. Its a brief online MCAT quiz from Princeton Review. <a href="http://www.review.com" target="_blank">www.review.com</a> Just go to their free MCAT quiz. For those of you who haven't taken the MCAT or any practice tests yet, this will...

Agreed. I thought the same thing the first time I saw the show. Russ

Heaven forbid one of us simple prokaryotic non-med students wants to learn. :rolleyes: Russ

Although this comment is quite late, I just couldn't pass it up. But maybe it is better that he not boast about being a DO. I do not think that he is that bright, and I would rather those who view the show do not get a biased opinion of osteopathy from this goofball. The other day he was...

Amen. If going into medicine means dealing with the "self-righteous premeds", then I'd choose another career. It seems that the majority of pre-meds/med students I meet and those on this board are so up-tight and condescending, and at the same time bashing everyone else for there feelings or...

Hmmmm? Russ

star23 Anybody else sensing a lack of a sense of humor. It is from the book called "House of God". Why are so many people so "up tight" about everything. Chill. If you believe that doctors/nurses/PA's are in some way more than human, you've got another thing coming. Do you think that...

I am sure that there is some fat to be cut in all hospitals. Maybe the Emergency Wards should really consider who they turf upstairs, so the hospital may be able to free up some of it's resources. Health care is just way too abused by the public, and I think, that many...

Thanks Kim. Good luck to you, and hope your still around these boards to let us know how everything is going. Russ

Dr. Kim What is your call schedule? Q3? Do you know at all how your schedule is going to be (sick days, day off, vacation, hours). Just curious. Thanks. Russ

Ofcourse. The only people who do not have fun while in medical school, are the people who wouldn't be having fun outside of medical school. Your life, career and education are what you make of it. Make time to enjoy yourself, or else, you won't enjoy your career. Russ
