Well said, megan!
The most important thing is to learn how to assimilate large amounts of information quickly, and be able to regurgitate it on a test.
Grades must be stellar, and you have to do well on the MCAT.
It won't hurt to have some experience volunteering or working in a medical setting. This can lead to letters of recommendation, which will only help you. Of course, when in these settings, be helpful, appropriately inquisitive and professional.
Good luck!Any doctors or people in medical school can you give me advice on becoming a doctor like helpful tips?
1) be very smart. a lot can be said for hard work, but you have to have at least a pretty high baseline for inteligence. we're not talking ';i got all a's in high school.'; we're talking ';i got all a's in college.'; (granted, i didn't get all a's in college, but i rocked my mcat and got mostly a's in college.)
2) be a good studier. i didn't study in college, but i had to learn pretty quick when i got to med school. being a doctor is all about learning. the learning never, ever stops, and most of it has to come from your own initiative to know more.
3) make the right connections. unfortunately, too much of getting into med school and good residencies is knowing people. if you're in college, work with doctors at med school afililated hospitals. if there are no med schools around you, do your best and get involved with people you feel are relatively well known in the medical community. it's all about politics, and i feel i learned that too late.
4) develop confidence and people skills. you have to learn how to sell yourself. know who you are. present yourself in the best light possible. if there are things you're not super proud of, work on them, change them. and learn how to explain them.
just work really hard with the gifts you've been given. be humble, because your brain isn't something you worked for, it's something you were born with. care about people (for real).

Ear stretching tips & advice?
Ok so i decided i want to gauge my ears.i had my ears pierced for years now,so the other day i bought 18 and they pretty much went right in.How long should i weight before going to 16 %26amp; any tips you have about stretching and the gauging process etc.thanks %26lt;3Ear stretching tips %26amp; advice?
First off, an 18g might be (and probably is) the same size you were originally pierced at.
Anything from 20g-10g I usually say just play it how it feels. They're such small stretches. If it doesn't hurt, bleed, or swell, I'd go to the next size. Don't force anything, but like I said, they are so small, and if you had them pierced for a while, they're probably a little bigger than the original pierce, just because of pulling, heavy earrings, dangling earrings, etc. Find the size you need to start at. It'd probably be a 14g.
DO NOT DO THIS FOR STRETCHES BIGGER THAN 10G! You need to wait at least a month between stretches. Some stretches may even require 3 or 6 months in between. For now, just see how it feels. If it hurts, you're doing it wrong.Ear stretching tips %26amp; advice?
i recon, you should go on one of those pulley machine things with your ear. :)

Can someone give this soon to be mom some wonderful tips to do when my baby arrive? Any advice is good advice?
1 Sleep when they do.
2 Put them to sleep in their crib as soon as possible, they will learn to love their crib as a safe and secure place.
3 Remember it gets better, month 3 is like a break through.
4 Love and snuggle your baby as much as you can.
5 Trust yourself, you are always right.
6 Ask your doctor anything... I mean anything.
7 Offer a bottle once a day if you are breastfeeding, I wish I would have done that, she is now 9m and won't take a bottle.Can someone give this soon to be mom some wonderful tips to do when my baby arrive? Any advice is good advice?
Well, while you are still pregnant get as much rest as you can. If you have a significant other spend as much time with them as you can. Also don't stress out. It's hard to be completely ready for baby and you will end up rearranging when you get home with the baby anyway.. so just take it easy till little one gets here.
When you have the baby don't stress.... your instincts will kick in! You will probably end up having a million questions and it's ok to ask each and every one of them! And last but not least when the baby is a few months old and you are ready to let someone else baby sit (even if it's only for a few hours) take the opportunity to have some time to yourself or some time with your S.O. You time and time alone with your S.O. will do a world of good for you. IT will bring you and your S.O. together and it will give you time to enjoy something you like. Good luckCan someone give this soon to be mom some wonderful tips to do when my baby arrive? Any advice is good advice?
Sleep as much as possible...when the baby lays down, if possible, you lay down too!
dont worry about it just believe that you will be a wonderful mom so advice is just to relax and stay calm.
Get as much rest at the hospital as you can and when you go home, sleep when the baby sleeps. Congratulations and good luck!
'sleep when the baby sleeps', I know thats pretty common advice but its really easy to think 'oh, while baby's napping I'll just throw a load of laundry in, do some dishes and tidy'. So seriously...nap whenever you can! Also, accept help from people who offer and don't be afraid to ask someone close to you to come watch the baby for half an hour while you have a shower or something. Most people close to you will be DYING to help out anyways : ) other than that, enjoy ur little one, cause sooner than you think you'll be missing how tiny and peacefull they were : ) good luck and congrats!
1. Sleep is always a good thing.
2. If your breastfeeding, insist on breastfeeding as soon as the baby is born and skin to skin contact.
3. If you're having a vaginal delivery ask for a stool softener when you leave the hospital for your first couple of BM's b/c you'll be sore.
4. Arrange for someone to help you the first week, help around the house, cook, you know things like that.
5. ice packs for you bottom area, you'll be very sore and the coolness helps after a vaginal delivery.
6. Take it easy, don't do too much for at least the first 2 weeks, or unless your feeling up to it. (my biggest mistake)
7. Take LOTS of pictures, that baby is going to grow so fast!
8. Enjoy being a new mommy, its the best feeling in the world!
Good luck with everything and congrats on the baby
Hopefully that helps, just trying to think of things that I wish someone would've told me or I would've done haha
Sleep.... at every possible moment.
Outside of that, everything comes naturally, maybe not right away, but it does. Your baby will tell you what to do.

Good luck!I have an interview for macy's in a few days, advice? tips? anything at all will help please. whats the salary
I work at Macy's, and you earn a comission if you sell furniture, mattresses, cosmetics, or perfumes. But in any other department, you earn 2 dollars for every person you get to open a Macy's credit card account. And then they just pay you out of the register. It's a really fun job if you love fashion and shopping. Plus, you get a 20 percent discount on your macy's credit card balance. Customers can always be frustrating, but for every frustrating one, you will meet 5 really nice, friendly people. Good luck on the job!!

Dealing with the heat in Egypt... any tips or advice?
I'm going on Holiday tomorrow to Sharm El Sheikh (going with a friend, was a 4* hotel really cheap!)
I've never really been anywhere really hot before, and it's supposed to be around 30-40C the next 10 days there.
What is the best way to keep cool, not get heatstroke and get used to the heat quickly?
I do intend to drink lots of water, go in the pool lots and stay in the shade... any other better ideas?Dealing with the heat in Egypt... any tips or advice?
Big tip = dont have the aircon too cold, you adapt better that way %26amp; it can make you ill to keep going from hot to really cold.
Stay out of the mid day sun.
Cotton clothing %26amp; underwear is a must.
As well as drinking plenty of water, have salt on your food, it helps to replace the salts your body looses in the heat, so you have less chance of getting ill.
Sunscreen, no need to say any more on that.
Hope you have a good time.Dealing with the heat in Egypt... any tips or advice?
Ive been there . you'lll get used to the heat the next day. In Egypt, most places dont have a clue what can i have ice with that means. They give you soda or water, and it would be boiling. Take lots ofcold water and a mini fan. When your entering egypt,it will be annoying because there are like millions of people entering. Umm.. buy icecream from their and try to have water with you at all time possible.
Just wanted to warn you, if the hotel your stying in is across a busy street, your not gonna get sleep. It's lik night time is day time to them. When i went their, they were playing with their horns, four guys would start a musical or something with their horns, so take something to help you sleep. Dont run alot in egypt, or your gonna fll or trip or faint. Thats all i can say, oh and take an extra blanket in your suitcase, cuz the hotel might turn out to be a dump.I stayed in one last year, it was supposedly 5 starts, when we went their, it was filth, gross, and did not fit the description.
we wore light clothing and even though i am not a hat person i used one, we drank plenty of bottled water and we were ok. Our room had air con so we turned it on for short bursts at a time, because you could very well end up with a sore throat. You will have a ball of a time so enjoy every moment of this beauitful country.
wear loose fitting, light colored clothing. Take sunglasses and a hat that will cover your face and neck. Other than that, lots of water as you said. Don't try to take on physical activities that are out of your ability range. don't forget sunscreen.
Stay inside between 10-4

Middle school, 7th grade, warnings? Tips? Advice?
I've been home-schooled since the middle of 5th grade. Now I'm in 7th grade my parents are divorced and my grandmother is recovering from breast cancer and my dad left me for his new wife and family. My mom is REALLY low on money and is trying to go to collage but doesn't have much time to home-school me. For about a year now I've been teaching myself from books and computers. She wants to send me to public middle school and I don't know what to do. Warnings? Tips? Advice?Middle school, 7th grade, warnings? Tips? Advice?
How do you feel about going to public school? If you want to go, I am sure you will find a group of kids that you will connect. Funny though, usually the kids that are the most welcoming are the ones that don't always make the best choices so be aware of that.
If you go public, try to dress mainstream. Don't wear anything that will make you stand out in an odd way. Be or act confident. If you are feeling nervous, try to pretend you are not. The couselors office will be able to help you also. They can assign you someone to help out. Usually, they get kids that are doing well in school and have friends.
It may take a little bit for you to find kids that have the same interests in you. But, be yourself and you will. This maybe a hard adjustment for you but there are many rewards you can get. Clubs, socializing, etc. Just get involved wherever you feel you might like.
However, if you do not want want to go to school, the district you live in may have an school internet program. The district I live in does. I know a 8th grade girl that is doing that does this. Your mom could call and find out.
Changes are always hard and I really feel for you. It sounds like maybe if you go to school you will be able to escape your home life for a little while. This really may be the best for you even though it can be scary. After the first week, you will really start to get used to it.
If you are behind academically, there should be many resources to help you get caught up.
I wish you the very best.Middle school, 7th grade, warnings? Tips? Advice?
