Hey everyone I just got my MCAT score today and got a 508 C/P:127 CARS: 126 B/B:127 P/S: 128. I'm not sure if I should retake it and would appreciate your advise! I don't have a great undergraduate GPA because I actually didn't decide to want to go to medical school until after I graduated. My...

Hi everyone! I would really appreciate any help/advice. My MCAT score came out on 8/18, and I got a 508. This was my first MCAT. My practice AAMC FLs were 510/506/510/516. I even took the 4th FL, on which I got a 516, a week before my exam :( I was hoping for a 510-515. MSAR shows a 508 barely...

So my practice test scores have been improving on a nice upward trend until NextStep FL 3. This test I got 503 total, 125 C/P, 125 CARS (v unusual for me), 126 Bio, and 127 Psych/Soc. I have posted a pic of my other scores. I am hoping that this is just a hard test and was a fluke and that...

Hi guys! I need advice on whether I should reschedule my MCAT date or not. I am currently signed up for the date of August 4th 2018. I have not started studying yet because I am still in school and I have so much school stuff to do and no time to study for the MCAT. I start my summer on June...

Hi everyone! Long-time SDN lurker here finally making a post because I desperately need advice. I'm currently scheduled to take the 6/1 MCAT. Today I scored a 510 on my AAMC FL 2 (128/129/128/125). My studying as a whole was admittedly poorly structured -- I took a Kaplan course over winter...

Hello all! I am thinking about what prep materials to use for my MCAT test date at the end of this summer. I was wondering what everyone or anyone thinks of Gold Standard MCAT prep materials. Has anyone used them in the past and had success? If anyone is currently studying with Kaplan or TPR...

I planed on studying during the semester but I underestimated my courseload. I have currently completed reading EK Chemistry book and should have physics completed by tomorrow. Would it be possible to be prepared for my January 19th test date? Otherwise I’m going to reschedule it to the end of...

Every med school wants to admit students who are academically intelligent. Having a high GPA in undergrad and a strong MCAT score show med schools that you can handle their academic rigor. But every school is different in what they consider is a “strong” score. The top schools will have higher...

Hey all! New member here, so I apologize ahead of time if I'm going about asking this incorrectly/in the wrong place. McGill is currently a dream school for me: perfect location, internationally renowned program, Francophone culture, etc... But as a U.S. citizen coming up on my junior year at a...

As the title says, I would really appreciate if someone could give me advice if I should retake the MCAT to get into D.O. schools or if anyone on here has gotten accepted into an osteopathic school with similar stats. - My MCAT came back today with a 501 (128/121/127/125). The CARS score...

Hi, This is my first post so I hope I'm posting correctly. I want to gain acceptance to a DO school in the next 2-3 years. I'm a 21yo male currently attending UF. I am at the end of my junior year about to be a senior. I got my AA in high school and immediately started taking science...

I'm looking for a good list of MCAT practice exams and questions. I want to acquire as much practice working through problems, getting a feel for what to expect, and simulating test experiences as possible. I have a good grasp on the practical material and feel my weakness at the moment lies in...

Howdy folks, First off, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere on the site; I searched and couldn't find anything, but I'm also relatively new to SDN. I'm going to take the MCAT May 19th and I'm about to dig into my study. I bought the 6 book Kaplan set but after doing a bit of work out of...
