      I talk about study methods here: czcams.com/video/vEjd1yjjMEY/video.html
      Tbh, handwritten notes can be a huge time sink and I tend to avoid them as the years progress. For classes like organic chem, handwriting is necessary to write out mechanisms. For microbio (shown in this video), I mainly just typed notes directly on the PowerPoint slide, used flashcards, and hand wrote ONLY for condensed study guide summaries before exams. Hope this answers your question!

    Congratulations on getting into medical school! Quick question, I notice that you do study guides before exams. I wanted to ask what tips do you have to make an effective study guide?

    • @MayGao
      @MayGao  Před rokem +11

      1) Use whatever study guide/outline is provided by your professor as a starting point, as these will be the topics directly tested. If not provided, refer to learning objectives or textbook chapter subheadings. 2) Avoid large blocks of text by using hierarchical formatting (highlight, underline, different text size for headings), 3) Make a linkable table of contents, this is easy to do on Google docs or Notion as a built in feature. Makes your notes a lot easier to refer back to. 4) Doesn’t always apply, but build a flashcard deck out of your study guide for active recall. Hope this helps!

      Hey, congrats! One of my fav questions! I saw a bunch of tiktoks about it and thought it would be a fun hobby. I made my own wooden frame (will link tutorials in another comment) and instead of paying for a very expensive tufting machine I just used a manual punch needle. Materials: wood and stuff to make frame, monk’s cloth, yarn, punch needle kit (Amazon), rug glue or aerosol super glue and felt for the backing

    My biggest concern about Brown is the amount of opportunities for research and shadowing available compared to schools like Case Western and Emory that are surrounded by hospitals… I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind speaking on the quantity of opportunities available? Congrats on a great undergrad career and good luck!

    • @MayGao
      @MayGao  Před rokem +1

      That’s a good question. Brown doesn’t calculate a GPA internally so I’d imagine it’s up to your potential employer / grad schools to interpret your transcript. For my AMCAS application, it appears that P/F classes didn’t influence my GPA and was in a separate section titled supplemental hours.
