So what hours do u study from when u get off work I get off everyday at 3:40Yeah, I took it in 2014. I study every day, but my classes are on Monday and Wednesday nights. I do! We have a lesson book, and that's what I take notes from the class in. The class/lesson book is mostly tricks on how to read the passages, how to determine wrong answers from rights one even if you don't know the information, how to find the answers without really doing math, things like that! I also read the chapters in the books and take notes and make flash cards to get content review! I work weekdays until 5:00, so I usually come home and then study. I'm a pretty fast reader so I can get about 2 to 3 chapters (including extensive note taking) a night.

Do u find yourself forgetting material after reading it in the review books?Just depends on when I get tired lol I don't really study on Mondays or Wednesdays cause of that class, we don't get finished until 11, and by the time I get ready for work for the next day and for bed, I don't have time but on the other days, I usually study from five until about 11:00/11:30. Then on the weekends, I pretty much study on and off all day!

When are u going to take the Mcat?Yeah, a little! That's why I started taking notes on the chapters! It helps to reaffirm what I've read by putting it into my own words and by simplifying it! Also, with all of our review books and lesson book, we got a little booklet called "mcat quick sheets" and it's pretty much the essentials of all the subjects, so I go over that too! Plus they have a mcat flash card app, and in my spare time at work, I try to go over those. But I don't do as well since I didn't make them myself.

How long have u been studying for it ?
What class is it and what's the cost?I started about a month and a half ago! In all, I'll be studying for almost 4 months when I take it. It's hard work, and a lot of studying but the tricks really do help! Plus the class is guaranteed to raise your mcat score by at least 10 points, which is really good! I also had a bunch of friends to take it after already taking the mcat once, and they all did a lot better on the mcat a second time!

Who's studying for the Mcat and what books are u using?
I've been studying for it since the end of March. Taking it on June 18th. Currently using Exam Crackers for Biology, The Berkeley Review for everything else except TPR for Psych/Sociology.
How do you like Exam Krackers? I'm thinking of buying their new 10th edition books that came out today.
My AACOMAS application didn't have Fall 2015 grades since I applied before that semester was over. When my application was transferred to the post bac program I was told I needed to send in Fall 2015 grades and Spring 2016 courses. I was finished with pre reqs and they had all of those grades regardless of Fall 2015 transcript.
It's called the Kaplan MCAT test prep. It's expensive though the live online version of the class, is about $2,000. They usually have sales all the time so that you can get anywhere from $150-$300 off!
This is the website for it if you want to check it out!

If you didn't want to pay that for the class, the books would be just as good! They're good review books!

When was your app complete?I got an email today saying my file is under review currently, how much longer do you guys think it'll take them to have a decision?
Late MarchWhen was your app complete?
I applied on the 11th of February and I'm still "under review" (it's been 3-4 weeks).I got an email today saying my file is under review currently, how much longer do you guys think it'll take them to have a decision?
Don't think about it too much. Last year, some people were getting acceptances in June. Each person is unique.I applied on the 11th of February and I'm still "under review" (it's been 3-4 weeks).
I'm starting to think it's a silent rejection

Yeah, the waiting game has just been so awful.They really seem to take each applicant into serious consideration, be optimistic! What were your stats?
A 3.82 sounds really good, you can get straight into med school with thatYeah, the waiting game has just been so awful.
My stats: 3.82 GPA, no MCAT (taking it in June). I do have strong extra-curriculars and LORs, but to be fair my GPA is weird since I transferred colleges multiple times and had some semesters where I was only part-time.
I really hope this program does work out because it seems like the best next step.
It's misleading though. The GPA is after retaking a few classes and it includes several part time semesters along with a fair amount of Ws. I really don't think it's as simple as a plain number (like the MCAT would be).A 3.82 sounds really good, you can get straight into med school with that
