Hey guys. so my names Jen and I am a pre-med student. About to enter into my 4th year of college.
I took my MCats in April and didn't fair too well. I got a 16Q (Mainly because I did not take practice tests as real tests) Although I know I am capable of scoring in the 30's. My GPA is near a 3.5. I aced all my upper science level courses (phys 1/2 +lab, Biochem +lab, orgO 1/2 +lab)
Long story short, I have good academics and dean's awards. I have done a 30 page publication with a doctor on anti-depression meds affects on pregnant women, 200+ish hospital volunteering, and about 2000+hours paid job as a internal medicine docs assistant doing EKG's, strep tests, and presenting patient cases to physician. Also I have a ton of lab research and extracurricular volunteering ( too long to list)
I Know being an MD is what I want, and thats why since I found out my MCat scores I have decided I will study arduously for the next April's Mcat exam. And I know this time I will be prepared . (had alot of family issues around my first MCat take)
I know med schools see all the MCats I've taken, but I am now asking you this question..
Is it a good idea what I'm doing? Am I at a disadvantage for taking Mcats AGAIN senior year? I am holding true to my dream and I can with full honesty say I will have 10 x's better preformance this time around, as I am studying new materials and using AMCA's test practices more efficiently.
Say my new MCAT is in the 30's. Do you see a decent shot at any east coast MD schools? (pref. around ny/nj) im a nj resident.
Thanks for reading <3

Ahhhhhh........vindication.Actually you're quite wrong, if one did not do their best under harsh conditions and took this test. How can you say a new year of studying won't bring up the score? Something smells like ****, and its your personality.
this is my favorite troll of the week.

ha are you serious? the op is using obscenities towards other users and i'm the one being obnoxious? yeah brah, you're right.You're being obnoxious. Number 1 sign someone is just new to SDN is saying "i know i'm capable of [x] MCAT score" without stating much supportive evidence - OP subsequently gets flamed every time and of course this is playing out as usual. By your post count you know better

you're a fool.Faulty argument and you know this.
OP was not a troll and you know this.
Stop padding your post count by ing at stressed out first time posters

you're a fool.
thank you for attempting to police my sdn use, but as you can tell i don't give a **** what you think about my posts. continue thinking you're better than me and have a good night.Maybe. I'll allow it
You've been here for a long time. You're used to people shouting "TROLL" pretty frequently. You're used to a lot of legitimate troll threads. You probably enjoy jumping on the latest "MD/DO, Carribean, etc" thread with your latest favorite cool story bro/don't feed the troll image. So you get excited when you see someone make one of the stupid mistakes of SDN - assuming a significantly higher 2nd MCAT. I know where you're coming from. What I want you to do is take a deep breath and remember what SDN is for...
Maybe I'm a fool for writing this. Maybe I'm a fool for wasting time on SDN. But I PM'd OP mentioning schools that average MCAT scores, and the fact that a poor first MCAT will be brought up during interviews. So at least I can go to sleep knowing I helped someone, while you acted like a douche
