I wonder if the DO sub is also biased towards strong app posters or if they're more representativeOh you havent taken or looked at it.
The MCAT is a test that will make you feel stupid unless you are a top 5 percent in USA student.
It gives the student an illusion as to being a content based test. You DO have to study and memorize 3 years of pre-med science coursework for this one test.
But that is not enough. The test requires you to have a massive knowledgebase, but the majority of the test is a critical thinking assessment.
This is why the MCAT destroys medical careers. Its a "necessary evil." You are also on SDN so you will hear talk of many people doing very well because there is a giant reporting bias on this website
and the people on this website are not even close to representing the average MD applicant or even matriculant for that matter.
