hi there. i am thinking of attending DePaul as a pre-med student. Tell me about your experiences as a pre-med, the pre-req classes, pre-med professors, do they prepare you well for the mcat, is it tough? (i am coming in through the bs/md program that just started this year).
I am a potential incoming student at DePaul and I wanted to ask what is up with the quarter system. how does it work exactly
Hi there!
Was anyone else accepted and will be going to the.DePaul + Rosalind Franklin's 8 Year Direct Admit Program? I wanted to know why you decided to choose this program.
I was admitted to both UMKC's 6-year program and DePaul's program, but I need some help in deciding which one to go with. I live closer to DePaul but its a new program so I have some reservations about attending a less-established program. At the same time, UMKC is almost 10 hours away from home and I know that it is a rigorous program, but it has a long history and I know many alumni from the program who are now doctors.
I would appreciate any and all insight to help me with this decision.
Thank you!
hi there! i am a medical student (22F, 5'1, Starting: 168 lbs Current: 165.4 lbs, Goal: 135 but for now even 145lb would be amazing) and i am looking to lose weight because i am deconditioned, tired of carrying around the extra weight, and feeling uncomfortable in my body. as a med student i am constantly on the go and i dont have too much time for elaborate meals or long hours in the gym (i work out 3x per week max). I find that eating the same things with little variance actually trains my brain to treat food as a necessity and not a comfort food ( I unfortunately gained 15 lbs since starting med school since food is my coping mechanism for stress)
here is what my typical food intake has been looking like now that i started cutting back on cals:
breakfast: orgain protein shake OR strawberry banana smoothie with nonfat greek yogurt, scoop of protein powder
lunch: yogurt (1/2 cup) with peanut butter mixed in and a banana OR cottage cheese (1/2 cup) with an orange
dinner: large salad with limited ranch, like 5 crutons for the crunch, avocado, hardboiled egg or chicken pieces
snacks for cravings: pistachio
caffeine: black coffee w/o sugar or 1 pod of creamer
water intake: mod-high
