Medical School Preparation: Day 3

Last night I left out the most important part of getting into medical school: volunteer work. If you pass the MCAT, then the medical schools are going to already know you're smart. Your grades, GPA, courses, and letters from professors will all be superfluous -- passing the MCAT = smart.

That leaves your ability to actually work in a medical environment. Which means a letter from a worker who vouches for your ability to function non-academically in the kind of environment faced by medical workers.

To that end, I've set my sights on Chico Immediate Care. The resident orthopod there fixed my hand a while ago, so I'll try to use that connection as some kind of in.

30 minutes on the MCAT today yielded 8/14 correct answers. That's 57%. Long way to go.

Today I learned that pH = -log[H3O+]. If I know the pH of a solution, I can find the concentration of H3O+ by taking 10 raised to the negative power of whatever the pH was.
