Well I hardly know you yet, and you hardly know me, so I guess I'll just have to meet you somewhere in between! My name is Andres Gomez, and I'm only remotely French, but I still like the language and the culture fondly. I am a Film and Media Studies major, Biology minor, pre-medical student attending OU for my last year whooo! I'm currently involved in a neuroscience lab and the OU Student Government Association. I'm currently aiming to go to medical school and specialize in neuropsychiatry.
I plan on taking the MCAT soon, and I'm talking about the 2015 MCAT. So, I'm also taking a prep course to make sure I'm not surprised by what the test can throw at me. I have heard some of my pre-med fellows are planning on "winging" the new MCAT. Well, that'll be fantastic for me if it's true: scores that stand out get noticed. The MCAT questions aren't actually all that difficult, but the new MCAT requires so much integration across different subjects to do well, and thankfully the prep course is helping me get used to that.
I've actually enjoyed my last semesters at OU, granted them being my most difficult: some of my the upper div sciences (especially Neurobiology and Psychopharmacology) have given me a real run for my money, yet I've done exceptionally well in all those classes. Unlike the basic science classes (gen chem, orgo, physics, etc.) required by all premed students, I've felt so much more like a future doctor in my neurobiology and psychopharmacology courses. And as a result, I found it so much easier to do very well in those courses despite them being upper division.
Even though I do like doing films, I've had to shy away from them in my last few semesters and focus on my biology minor/pre-med coursework. I have had films submitted to film festivals local and abroad, and I've been able to remain active in my states' respective film communities (got my first paid position when I was in high school). I plan on taking a year off between graduation and medical school, and devote that time to making films locally and in LA.
I also regularly do hand-drawn sketches so I might post some of those here as well. However, until then, enjoy this (this is NOT my work in any way, all credit to the original creator)-
