How should work study be categorized on the AMCAS?
For the biographic info section, it asks "How have you paid or did you pay for your post-secondary education? For each of the applicable options below, indicate the average percentage contribution towards your post-secondary education."

Low course load / exploring other interests
Hey,
So Im currently in my spring of sophomore year at my college majoring in biology. I have maintained a 4.0 so far in all my classes and during this semester I was unsure if I even wanted to continue being pre med and I wanted to make an education and informed decision before dedicating the next decade of my life to medicine.

How psych applicants evaluate residency programs
Greetings from my second post in a single night!
I was looking over the criteria that psych applicants used to choose which programs to apply to:
And I'm wondering how applicants evaluated a couple of different qualities:
"Quality of educational training and curriculum"
Beyond a prestigious name, how can you evaluate this? What relevant information should I look for on their website, and what questions should I ask residents?
"Appropriate balance between...

YALE vs BROWN
Please educate me on the strengths and weaknesses of the program from your perspective.
Some considerations:
1. Yale $15K more per year, but that is not the biggest concern in the bigger scheme of things

Struggling with finding shadowing
I’ve been looking for shadowing opportunities for the past year and have had no luck. I’ve cold called/emailed/gone to offices with a cover letter and resume, asked my PCP, and contacted Graduate Medical Education offices as well.
I’ve gotten an opportunity to help a physician with physicals with other pre-health and health students. Would this count as shadowing even though I would be functioning mostly as an MA?
I’m feeling really discouraged and honestly about to quit premed. I don’t...
