PrincessHeather Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 You'll also need to take the GRE and do some shadowing (those are both on my list for this summer!)I took the GRE last year, and I highly recommend studying! Best thing I did was get a book with multiple practice tests and thorough explanations of the types of questions that will be asked. This made a big difference for me, particularly for the math portion.Well, I don't think it is right for just you and me to have the numbers, so here you go everybody...05 09 15 18 32 34If this actually hits, everybody that used this number, send me 2% of your net winnings.

The Tin Man Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's typically a doctoral program (there are a few masters programs left, but not many).The core prereqs are a year of chem, a year of physics, a year of anatomy & physiology, and a semester of statistics. Most programs will also require some psych and general bio; a few require exercise physiology. There are a few other wacky ones depending on where you want to apply. You'll also need to take the GRE and do some shadowing (those are both on my list for this summer!)Check out http://www.apta.org/ for a list of accredited programs, and http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=210 for some pretty decent (if sometimes hysterical) discussion on programs, salary, debt, etc. Good luck, whatever you decide! I'm applying this year or next, depending on a few things. It's been a long road thus far, but I'm three years into prepping for this change and still excited about the field.Thanks for the awesome information and link! That's pretty much exactly what I wanted. Do you have a sense of whether reputation of program plays a role? And I already took the GRE, that was part of my last challenge!I took the GRE last year, and I highly recommend studying! Best thing I did was get a book with multiple practice tests and thorough explanations of the types of questions that will be asked. This made a big difference for me, particularly for the math portion.Thanks for the advice Heather. As I said above I did take the test a couple months ago so I'm all set. Thank goodness I'm a "numbers" guy and a good test taker! The Tin Man: Cyborg Ranger Tin Man's Out of Date Epic Quest I am what I do. Link to comment

Eurydice Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 You should bring a camera with you and upload a video. We'd all be happy to critique form.I keep thinking I will, but I haven't gotten around to figuring out the logistics of propping my phone up somewhere. What I'd really like is to have someone right there to poke me in the back or yell at me to lift my chest up, though. That way I could fix things on the fly.

weirdquark Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I need help in figuring out the most effective way to increase my leg muscle endurance specifically. I failed my 25 in 5 last night, even tho I've done it before successfully, because I was just beat. I'm not recovering fast enough or something. I just had nothing left. Maybe its a mental block, I have no idea. 5 minutes shouldn't be this hard.Doing squats, step-ups, or something similar for high reps (15-20) for a few times a week for several weeks would probably help with that. I was doing a circuit that had four sets of DB squats, DB shoulder press, DB step-ups, and inverse rows where you were shooting for 15-20 reps and increased the weight when you could do 20. I lift heavy things. Current Challenge Between Challenges Workout Log Sassafrass: a capella folk fantasy mythology Link to comment
CalvinHobbes Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Do you have a sense of whether reputation of program plays a role? A few of my friends are in PT school now at Mass General and LOVE it. Also a few of my brothers' friends graduated from Boston schools (BC, BU, Mass gen, NEU? don't remember where) and are all doing fine. I was thinking of going to PT school but after nursing school I didn't feel like it Link to comment

I think reps are definitely something I need to up. I squatted just the bar for 4 sets, 12 reps this week and was sore for days. I will go lighter and longer in that area and keep up with my spin class for now. Tiffany -Elven Ranger & Derby GirlSTR 7 | DEX 5 | STA 4 | CON 3 | WIS 4 | CHA 3@moxie_hart. Tumblr.

Maybe its a mental block, I have no idea. 5 minutes shouldn't be this hard.Sleep. Three nights of unlimited sleep. If you have to go to bed obnoxiously early, do it. But sleep until you can sleep no more. And then do it again the next night.Also, if it happens to be 'that time of month,' you might want to take an iron supplement (I get Flintstone's vitamins with iron and munch on one a day for a few days each month).

tarahsolazy Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 One favor? hmm... I would have someone from this lovely Rebellion sit next to me as I'm trying to apply to medical school and just tell me where to go and what to do. This would make this a whole lot easier, especially since everyone has different advice and different times!I say, as faculty at a good state university med school, and a physician scientist (so my opinion's worth about what you pay for it):Go to a state allopathic school if you can, you will get a good education and be set up for a good residencyBorrow as little money as possible (see go to state school, above)Enjoy your time in med school, its stressful, but I think third and fourth years of med school are the best parts of medical training, you get to see really cool stuff and be a part of people's lives in a meaningful way, yet you have no real responsibility yet! When you're out of school, keep living a college student lifestyle until your loans are paid off.
