As a doctor I am required to inform you that other organs besides bones (i.e. heart, brain) can also hold racism
Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don’t have a Racist bone in my body! The so-called vote to be taken is a Democrat con game. Republicans should not show “weakness” and fall into their trap. This should be a vote on the filthy language, statements and lies told by the Democrat.....

Not sure how I used paper flash cards in undergrad. Do yourself a favor and make flash cards online! Saves so much time and the environment.

When researching med schools to apply to, I can't recommend pass/fail enough. Makes the first two years collaborative + less stressful.

Make sure to have friends who respect your motivation to sacrifice nights out so you can accomplish your goals. Long term > short term.
The hardest thing about pre-med is the years of hard work before knowing if it'll pay off. But the best things in life are worth the risk.

Try to check your email only twice a day for a while. The Earth will not implode, trust me. Then, go to once a day. #Efficiency

I'm either studying or feeling guilty about not studying #premedlife #lifeofamedstudent
Putting down the $$ for an online MCAT prep course is totally worth it. Keeps you focused and confident. It's an investment in your future.
