Reality hit me after seeing this thread... I'm finally applying to medical school in 6 months, MCAT in April. I've been roaming around this forum for about a year now without having anything useful to contribute. Seriously where did this semester go?
I am hopefully taking it April 9th with May 21st as my back up. Good luck to you too!Mine starts Jan 10. Good luck!!
When are you taking the MCAT?
Welcome all you 2016-ersI am hopefully taking it April 9th with May 21st as my back up. Good luck to you too!
It really isn't. Everyone here should be preparing for/taking the MCAT, getting LOR, and selecting schools. I submitted AMCAS the first couple minutes it opened, was verified in an hour, went on interviews in September, and have been accepted to the school I'll attend (withdrew from the rest of my interviews oos). I'm happy all this nonsense is over and I'm glad my preparation has paid off. .
You can still be verified without your score.Hm that's the plan! be prepared and spread the stress out! congrats though what about if I'm taking my MCAT May 21? My score would be back June 21/22? so then submitting when it first opens won't help right because I'll still be pending on my MCAT? or I can be verified?
This is how I felt.... I thought I was going to graduate in 2013, but am glad I get to graduate in 2012. I was relieved I didn't need a 5th year until I realized that I now get to take the MCAT in the spring and apply in June. Where did this semester go??? Actually, where did the last couple of years go? I was so busy working and going to school that it really snuck up on me!!
I'm taking the MCAT in April too. to you

You can submit your amcas without your score to one school. That way your transcripts get verified, and you can add more schools after that. If you wait until June 21 to submit, your transcripts won't be verified for several weeks after that.
Since the bulk of secondaries are made available in July, you don't want to be waiting to be verified (if you can avoid it).

Check out the AMCAS questions thread from this year and you will get a TON of answers to all of these types of questions so that you can feel really prepared when you are completing and submitting the application.
Glad to know I'm not the only one. I just feel like I woke up and realized that I'm a JUNIOR. haha
I'm taking the MCAT April 9th, my mini doomsday lol. Classes starting January 10th. =)
Good luck to everybody!!!

SAME! I'm actually a senior, but OMG I can't believe we've worked out whole life for THIS
good luck on yours! be sure to keep us updated
Thank you!!!!!
Someone told me to apply to one in-state first. So I can add the other schools after being verified and before the scores comes in??? Or the rest of schools should be added after the results come in??
Here is another tip:
Make sure you become proficient at kissing butt.
Merging related threads and keeping the other thread's name.
Please send your thank you gifts to CougarMD c/o SDN
This thread makes me feel old. lol
If I had gone to med school right after undergrad, I would have been in the "Class of 2013!!!!" thread. That's a pretty big difference.
Most people in this thread were probably freshmen when I was already a senior.
No, people can't tell. Unless you are terrible at it . I think those are the people who are 4.0/38 and have no interviews or acceptances .But can't people generally tell if someone is being fake? I like to think that I can tell.
Also, thanks for the advice about getting reference letters in advance. This makes a lot of sense.
How exactly does interfolio work? The referees send the letters to interfolio, and then interfolio forwards them to AMCAS? What exactly is the benefit of this? Is this mainly useful to students who apply through more than one organization (i.e., TMDSAS and AMCAS?). For people only applying through AMCAS, why not just send all the letters directly to it?
I could look this up, but it would be nice to hear an explanation from someone who's actually gone through the process.
Now the posts made just before the merger time look awkward and out of place!
You feel old?

so are people taking an mcat class or studying on their own? I'm doing the latter
I'm studying on my own. I bought some BR books and Examkrackers to start.

I studied on my own using Kaplan (not their classroom books but the store-bought one), the EK books, and the TPR Hyper-Learning exercise books (in the last month).
I probably would have disliked the classes, since the pace is wrong for my learning style. I like to build knowledge up from the basics gradually and make sure that I understand most of the fundamentals.
After all of that complaining about the name...I don't even get a lousy "Thank You" from '16ers? Sheesh

On my own as well. Hopefully the hand-me-down MCAT books won't let me down!
I just have no idea how I will find time to study for the test in April with Physics II and Orgo II next semester
After taking 4 summer school classes, and filling out 25 secondaries, then taking fall quarter classes while interviewing.... I feel NO pity for you .Most of us are probably struggling keeping up with the bunch of exams this week.
But THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha never gonna happen... especially while we've got all the mods.Can everybody vote 5 stars on this thread so that we can have a higher rating than "class of 2015!!!!!....!"? lol
In 6 months you guys are going to begin a wild ride!

Yeah, the MCAT totally makes it real. Trust us....conserve your energy. It is a marathon, not a sprint. Rhino is just all fat and happy because his ride is over....some of us are riding it until the endScaryyyyyyyyyy It still doesn't really feel like it's that close yet.. maybe when I actually start studying for the MCAT rather than just staring at the books... LOL
You should make friends with us....we will be the ones answering all of your AMCAS questions in about 6.5 monthsCan everybody vote 5 stars on this thread so that we can have a higher rating than "class of 2015!!!!!....!"? lol

motivation could be that you wanna kick that exam's ass so you can compete with these other overachieving SDNers when applying? lol
(i would personally just watch basketball though, but that's just me )
i'm applying 2012 and hope im class of 2016
