Newton’s Second Law is where forces in MCAT Physics starts to get exciting. Not only do you have to understand F = ma, but you must also be able to find the total force in the x-direction, y-direction, and some vector between the x and y axis. This video breaks it down with examples including […]
Forces in MCAT Physics Intro Video
The first step to conquering force equations, is to conquer F=ma. Not just with simple memorization, but with the understanding of how the units relate to each other, and how to derive different forms of this equation so that the units work out as expected. This video breaks it down for you and also shows […]
3.0 GPA, 488 MCAT, Burnout to Medical School Acceptance
The internet will have you believe that if you don’t have a perfect GPA and MCAT score, you can’t go to medical school. Sometimes strangers (online) get in our heads, sometimes it’s our inner circle including family, friends, and advisors. And sometimes that little doubting voice comes from within. “My GPA is trash, I’ve already […]
Ionic, Polar Covalent and Non-Polar Covalent Bonding Tutorial Video
Orgo Basics Video Series: Video 1 Your organic chemistry professor will take it for granted that you have a solid understanding of bonding. Specifically the chemical nature of ionic bonds, polar covalent and non-polar covalent bonds. These will be especially important once you start working through reactions because understanding bonds will help you recognize strong/weak […]
sp2/sp Hybridization, Bond Angle, Molecular Geometry Tutorial Video
Orgo Basics Video Series: Video 3 sp2 and sp hybrids provide organic compounds with unique shapes and reacting abilities. This video breaks down the hybridization for sp2 and sp fused orbitals using carbon and other commonly seen atoms to help you understand hybrids, geometry, and bond angles. Looking to understand molecular orbitals? Visit my Molecular Orbital […]
sp3 Hybridization, Bond Angle, Molecular Geometry Tutorial Video
Orgo Basics Video Series: Video 2 Carbon is the most common element you’ll come across in your organic chemistry course. It’s ability to bind up to 4 different atoms for a 3-dimensional structure makes it so unique and so important to organic compounds. This video helps you understand the sp3 hybridization for carbon and other […]
Lewis Structure Trick for Organic Chemistry Molecules
Orgo Basics Video Series: Video 5 Lewis structures provide you with a simple way to draw out an organic molecule showing every atom, bond, and lone electron pair. While not ideal for demonstrating bond angle and molecular geometry, it’s a great way to begin your understanding of molecules and bonding in organic chemistry. Every professor […]
Organic Chemistry or Art Class?
Wait, they never told me I needed art skills to draw organic molecules! You knew this was going to be a difficult class, and you were ready for it. You prepared to learn about atoms and electrons, reactions and mechanisms. Oh, the mechanisms! You start with Skeletal Structures, Then you get to Newman Projections, And […]
Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis Acids and Bases in Organic Chemistry
As an organic chemistry student you will find yourself faced with acid/based questions again and again. From categorizing molecules to ranking their strength without pKa or pKb values. This isn’t terrible if/when you learn it correctly, however, your professor will assume you already know this. So s/he won’t teach it. Why? Because you’re expected to remember […]
MCAT Advice from Ada of The Biosisters
Meet Rose and Ada, also known as @thebiosisters who run a motivational and informational blog for pre-health students. Rose is a 2nd year medical student in New Orleans. Ada is a Biology/pre-med rising senior who just took her MCAT on June 30th. Ada first shared this on Instagram, but I asked for permission to publish here so that […]
