grades

Physiology is said to be one of the most challenging classes for a pre-med student. There may be moments when you’ll feel confused or overwhelmed; luckily, we have a list of the best and worst study tips to succeed in physiology that should help make it a more enjoyable experience.

You will need to find different ways to grasp concepts across your various pre-med courses - trust us, what works for anatomy will not work for physics. Therefore, adaptability is one of the most critical skills you'll need to master to be a successful pre-medical. As the new academic semester is still in its early stages, we think it's an appropriate time to talk about study habits and some resources we believe will be helpful to you. While there are no surefire shortcuts when studying, there are things that you can do to get the most out of your study time, and we will be getting into some study habits that worked for us in organic chemistry and psychology/sociology.

Welcome to Admissions Mondays, a new video series where Passport Admissions President and Co-Founder of the HEAL Clinical Education Network, Rob Humbracht, answers weekly questions from our viewers and subscribers.‍ Today’s question (submitted by “Jordan”): How do you determine when/if it is appropriate to disclose delicate information (i.e., mental health issues, trauma, recovery from addiction, etc.) in response to primary and secondary application prompts?

Occasionally I turn on ESPN before a basketball game to find a talking head unleashing such golden nuggets of wisdom as, “This team is really going to have to score a lot of points in order to win.” I think to myself, “I wonder if the players know that they’re supposed to score more points than the other team. I bet they would win if they knew that!” If only basketball were so simple.
