Hi everyone,

I was wondering where I can get some writing samples in regards to what they expect from you for the MCAT.

I wasn't too sure how to go about the writing section and wanted to look at some samples to get an idea.

Thanks

The writing sample is the least important score. There is almost no trend between writing score and medical school acceptance. But it's also the most easily fixed score-- you can learn to write a mediocre essay very easily and "pass" the writing section.

Pick up any of the big prep company's book on writing and follow their approach.

I know it's not a big part of the MCAT but I wanna start getting a feel for it. I'm set up for the Jan 30th MCAT and haven't really done much for writing. Any examples of what they'd expect would be great.

Thanks
