Hi! If I withdraw an application from a school prior to submitting a secondary will I still be considered a reapplicant at that school if I end up re-applying next cycle?

Do I add the science and math classes that I have withdrawn from into my BPCM? How do medical school committees look at withdrawn math and science courses? I have withdrawn from a Gen Bio 1 with Lab and a Gen Chem 1 with Lab in my freshman year. I am retaking them now and I've got a solic A in both.

Accidentally put down 480 hrs when I meant to put down 840 for my research under Work/Activities section. Just got verified Sept 1, and realized I made a mistake with my research hours. I've been in this lab for 2 years, and 480 hours doesn't seem to line up with the duration of which I worked...

Hello I submitted my AMCAS application and then noticed 2 errors I did on my work/activity section. For 2 activities I indicated the experience type as "medical/clinical" when it should be "not medical/clinical" I contacted AMCAS and as I expected I cannot edit it, Im worried this mistake...

Hi there, I submitted my primary application very late (8/10) for verification due to personal circumstances. While I've been pre-writing secondaries, I recieved my first secondary from Tufts, and I wanted to know if it was okay to hold off on submitting my secondary until my primary is...

Hi, I had previously gotten letters from 3 profs that I wanted to apply MD. I got my MCAT back a week ago and it was low enough to deter me from submitting AMCAS. Now, I'm trying to ask them to submit letters for twoe-year programs, and will have to let them know somehow that I'll be applying...

So I accidentally listed one of my experiences as "paid-medical/clinical" when it should have been "paid-Non-medical/clinical". I have over 800 hours in this experience, and I don't want adcoms to think I am trying to claim more medical/clinical experience than I have. Should I email individual...

Hello, I took the exam last month and I voided. I want to retake in August but I haven't scheduled yet because I want to be sure that I am at least near ready to take it and not waste the money again. My question is: Can I add my tentative mcat date to my amcas which is already verified or do I...

Just took my MCAT feeling kind of meh about how I did. Got killed by C/P took too long trying to figure out an answer on some questions tht I should’ve skipped and went back to later. I've been reading threads and it seems that I am not the only one who thought c/p was difficult. I didnt void...
