Hello everyone.
I am currently scheduled for the September 9th MCAT. I am seriously doubting whether I should take it or now. My goal is to apply mostly DO with select MD programs. I really want to score at least a 510 on this thing.
To add further background.... I have a very low undergrad GPA (3.02) with an upward trend (playing 4 years of D1 bball might not have been the best choice for my GPA). I understand I am in a hole here.
I have been studying for the MCAT x 3-4 months now while working 40 hours per week as a medical scribe (which I am still doing). Here are my practice tests thus far.
1. 488 (Kaplan)
2. 499 (Kaplan)
3. 499 (TPR)
4. 494 (TPR) - this one hurt
5. 496 (TPR)
6. EK ~63% total
7. 496 (TPR) - this one hurt too
8. 500 (Kaplan)
9. 504 (NS)
10. 503 (NS) - Today
Questions packs: ~70-80% on all subjects.
Looking for advice. I understand I am a long shot candidate at this point. I really want/need to do well on this thing!
