I remember seeing one of these documents floating around. does anyone have a link by any chance?
Preface
I keep most of the specifics ambiguous so that I don't get doxxed but I try to give as accurate of a reading of my position as possible so that you have an idea of what's capable/likely.
Why listen to me?
I'm a senior graduating this semester (Spring 2021) at a low/non-ranked university. My school is somewhere between ranks 75 and 150 on this list and also between ranks 75 and 150 on this list. I've interviewed at and gotten offers from 2 of (Google, FB, Apple, MSFT) and am going to be working at one of them when I graduate, and have gotten an offer from a unicorn that is one of (Airbnb, Doordash, Roblox, Tiktok, Square, Robinhood, Coinbase, Dropbox), I've done many big tech interviews so I'm familiar with the process, and I've been in positions where I've struggled to get interviews like many of you.
Here is a Sankey diagram of my Fall 2020-Spring 2021 application season. Note that I have 26 OAs and only 11 next rounds. I don't think it was like this in the past (but maybe someone can testify for/against it) but some companies have started to resume screen after the OA instead of before. My leetcode count is 84/214/56 (easy/med/hard), my leetcode contest rating is >1800, and my codesignal is >845 so I'm pretty confident about how my performance on most of these coding challenges go and am familiar with the level of difficulty of the problems I see on these OAs. Despite this, I've only received 42% callback even though I'm confident I've optimally solved all problems in my OAs for 24 out of 26 of them (this is a pretty bold claim but if you take into consideration that the majority of the OAs are significantly less difficult than leetcode contests then it no longer seems so farfetched. I mean, seriously, most of these OAs are a joke. Citadel and Tiktok had notably difficult ones, most of the codesignal ones are pretty standardized and the hardest questions you'll get on these are harder meds or easier hards.)
Non-doxxable (at least I hope so) background
I went to a normal public school and did a lot of math competitions and some coding competitions. Didn't really do very much coding at all until my freshman/sophomore year of college though and any of you could probably be better at coding than high-school-me within 3 months.

I want to get ahead and learn Algebra 1 and I plan to use the Khan Academy Algebra 1 course to do so. But I've heard that some people don't think that Khan Academy is enough. Would it be enough for a high-school curriculum. I know that a high school Algebra 1 class doesn't just purely consist of Algebra and has some geometry/statistics/probability so I also plan to do the high school geometry and Statistics & Probability courses as well. So if I did these courses would that teach me all the content I need to know and if not, what other resources would you recommend I use?
Thank you!

Hello 1Ls! Now that Fall grades are released and the Spring semester is almost upon us, some of you are inevitably disappointed by the results. That's OK! You can turn things around in the Spring, but only if you take some time to reflect on what went right and what went wrong so that you can improve your strategies. To help with that process, I wanted to repost the 1L guide that I shared here a few months ago. The way Reddit works, many of you probably never saw it, and still others may have forgot. It's the exact same advice I've given my 1L mentees over the past two years, who report that it was super helpful in allowing them to beat the curve. In particular, the "productivity" section at the end might be helpful in analyzing what you did last time.
As always, feedback from other 2/3Ls and grads is encouraged!
Original post:
Hi friends! 3L at UVA here. I recently put together these notes as part of some advice I was giving to our incoming 1Ls. Given the explosion of "holy crap I'm a 1L and am totally overwhelmed, help!" posts floating around the sub, I figured it might be helpful to share these tips with the rest of you. They should apply to any school, but check with your professors and/or older students if you're not sure. If you're reading this later in the semester, you can also check out advice I posted last year for the last month before finals and advice for taking the final exam itself. For the sake of establishing credibility, yes, I did very well in law school based on the approach outlined below. I've also received a ton of excellent advice from older students, my classmates, and the internet, which has been incorporated into my personal strategy over time. If you want further reading, this excellent collection of resources by moderator /u/Hstrat is a great place to go next and includes sources that influenced my tips below.
Happy to turn this into a psuedo-AMA if you have questions!
Fellow 2/3Ls & grads - I welcome any comments, criticism, or additional suggestions you want to add!
Caveats/Intro

So I wont be needing this anymore and I wont have the time to upkeep the spreadsheet during PA school.
Here is my list of every PA school in the nation along with all of their prerequisites.

It took me about 50 hours to collect all of this data and it has already been pointed out to me that there are some mistakes, feel free to correct them, this belongs to you all now. It is a really good jumping off point when deciding where to apply, good luck!
Edit: Added a spreadsheet for schools that look at trending GPA as well as a one for cost of attendance.
Hi. Maybe you're here because you looked up Carlmont on Reddit. Maybe you're here because you searched Google for Carlmont and found this. Before you say "hur hur hur redditor bad" and ignore this, let me suggest that you stick around, because I guarantee you this guide will include something that will save your ass at some point.
Covered here:
- Campus
- Classes
- Grades
- Pathways
- Clubs
- Sports
- Administration
- Relationships
- Drugs/Alcohol
- Bullying/Harassment
- College
Fun Fact: The name Carlmont is a combination of San Carlos and Belmont, the two cities that Carlmont lies in. This will never be useful to know, ever.
Let's get right into it.
Campus
The campus is big. Here is a map. If you are a new student, this is the first issue you will be presented with. On campus, there are a couple of main sections you'll want to know. When you enter the campus from the right, you will be entering on the PAC (Performing Arts Center) side of the campus. You will know it because there is a big building with large glass windows and a small tree in the middle of the road. If you enter the campus from the left, you are entering on the pool/Student Union side of the campus. You will know it because there is a pool next to a roundabout, which is a small distance away from the student union.
There are three main sets of halls.
Halls A-E are in the main, center section of the campus. You can find these halls in neat, labeled rows above the Quad (the large, paved flat area in the center of the campus with a big clock). This is where the majority of your classes will be. Note that the A and D halls are divided over TWO floors.
The U, T and S halls are to the LEFT of the campus. To get to the U, T and S halls, you have to walk across a road that is to the left of the student union. The S halls are in the large, 2 storied building to the right. The U halls are in a large, two storied building in the back. The T halls are in the single-storied building to the left.
The F halls are in the PAC to the RIGHT of the campus. To get to the F halls, just enter the PAC and walk to the right. You will generally only need to find the F halls if you are doing art/drama.
Lockers are scattered throughout all of these halls.
Besides the halls, there are a few landmarks to know. The football field is the field in front of the quad, separated by a fence. The senior lot is the parking lo
... keep reading on reddit ➡It's strange. I'm not sure my school took an abstinence-only approach, but my teacher was very disengaged, so we mostly just sat at our desks and did nothing during health class. I am in college now and am curious to know where I can learn the foundations of sex ed in a straight-forward and clear way. I feel like online searches can come up with a wide variety of information that is also varied in its validity.
Hey all,
Lots of students are asking us where to find low-cost services. This year MCATBROS is focused on our MCAT students, but we have created a community where students can find help from medical school editors. We believe in getting as close to the service provider as possible. You pay them directly.
