Hey all,
I know you're probably tired of all these questions, but I've thought a lot about this and I just wanted to know someone else's opinion on my specific situation. The original plan was to study like hell until January and take the old MCAT while the psychology/sociology/biochem is not part of it, since I have no real background in those. The thing is, I don't have a background in Physics/Orgo either.
I am taking Physics 1, Orgo 1, Cancer Bio, Med Terminology, Phys Lab at the moment, however. This makes for a pretty full schedule so I don't know if trying to go after the 2015 now and having a few extra months (and tries, in case I don't do so well) might be better than trying to read Berkeley Review and EK Bio to learn Physics and Organic Chemistry in three months before the January exam, possibly do bad on it, and not be able to retake for schools to compare a new score to.
It pretty much has to be done this year, since I'm graduating next year. Unless I take a gap year...
What is your take on this? Maybe I am underestimating just how difficult the new test will be? What would you do in my situation?
