Hi everyone,
I've been prowling around this forum for a while and finally decided to make a post. I'm an incoming 4th year.
I'm in a dilemma. I want to take the MCAT in January so that I can apply for medical school this upcoming cycle. Now before there are any judgements for my rushing, it is because my mom was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. Thus I want her to see me get accepted into a medical school before she goes. I'm not sure how long she has and so I want to go through this process as early as possible.
My plan right now:
Online Princeton Review MCAT course from July 11th-August 25th
Self-study during Fall quarter (will be taking Biochem class so I'm hoping that will keep me fresh in that matter - otherwise done with all other pre-reqs except sociology, which I may also be able to take during Fall)
Set myself down and study nonstop during the 4 weeks of winter break + 2 weeks of Winter quarter
Take the MCAT in January
If you do not at all think this is possible, please don't be afraid to let me know. This isn't what I planned for but a lot of things happen unexpectedly and you just got to roll with the punches right? If no one thinks this is a good plan I might just end up taking 2 years.
