Thank you so much!! So for the MCAT I used premade decks. I used the Jack Sparrow deck but there are a lot of really high quality popular decks you can find out there. However, I am planning on getting used to making my own Anki flash cards for AA school based on textbooks, PowerPoints, etc. I’m pretty bad at it now 😂 but maybe if I get better at it I’ll make an Anki tutorial. There are a lot of videos on TH-cam about how to make your own Anki flashcards. So to answer your question a bit of both. I know that the process of actually making a flashcard is really good for retention, so keep that in mind as you dive into the world of Anki!!
At the time I took the MCAT, I was still unsure whether or not I was going to apply to medical school or AA school. I also knew that CU was my dream school and they only accept the MCAT. All in all it all worked out at the end of the day, and I’m glad I took the MCAT instead of the GRE.
I’d also say that the MCAT is a harder exam than the GRE, but I truly think the MCAT was what helped me to get so many interviews and set my application apart. Since AA admissions are getting more competitive each year, I am of the opinion that a good MCAT score can help you have a leg up in the cycle. Good luck!!
Just do a google search for “CAA Discord” and it will be the first thing that pops up. In my opinion there is not a lot of information online about the CAA profession, and I think the Discord server is a great place to start and get some quality information and meet other people in the AA world!!
Hello :) I am interested in the AA profession. What do u think would be a good undergrade degree I can get that covers most of the pre-reqs and a undergrad that can possibly give me a good job if anytime I think I don't want to do AA school anymore. Thanks :)
If you get a degree in Biology, that will cover most of the prerequisite courses! You could also do chemistry and would knock out many prerequisites as well. However, many people major in whatever interests them and still do the prerequisite courses in 4 years. So if you are thinking you might want to switch from pre-AA during your undergrad, just get a major in something that interests you! I got a degree in psychology, so your options are wide open. Hope this helps!!
The only class my psych degree covered was the statistics prerequisite that some programs have. However, I was a Sport and Exercise Science major before transitioning to pre-AA, and that major covered some important prerequisite classes like biochemistry and Anatomy/Physiology. You can probably go through your undergraduate catalog and see what classes each major requires and how many of them overlap with AA prerequisites. Also, very important, make sure you read each programs prerequisites very carefully. For example some programs require you to take a trigonometry or calculus based physics course ONLY (NOT algebra based). Make sure the courses you take line up with the programs you want to apply to, and always email each program to double check. Good luck!!

CRNA student here, very interesting to learn more about the AA profession through your videos. Great videos btw!!
Thanks so much for watching!! I’m sure you’ll make an awesome CRNA 😎
Thank you so much for sharing this video :)
Anytime!! Thank you for watching 😁🙏
@@skohayward Could you please also make a video on how you prepared for AA school interviews? Thanks again :)
Absolutely!!
Thank you sm!
You’re welcome!! Thank you for watching 🙏
When you create a deck on Anki, did you make up the questions yourself, or use a software to make up questions from your PowerPoint?
I love the content btw keep it going🙌🏾

Why the mcat and not the gre?
At the time I took the MCAT, I was still unsure whether or not I was going to apply to medical school or AA school. I also knew that CU was my dream school and they only accept the MCAT. All in all it all worked out at the end of the day, and I’m glad I took the MCAT instead of the GRE.
@ ok, good point, I’m actually in the same situation.

What’s the discord info?
