Hello! I am studying 12 weeks total for mcat in august. I have just finished my first pass through the kaplan books for content review. It took me three weeks but I took minimal notes and did not do end of chapter questions. I basically went through and made sure I UNDERSTOOD everything and did...

Hi there, I have the following sets for sale. I used these books to improve my MCAT score by 11 points (1st attempt 489.... 2nd attempt 500). Now, I want them gone lol 1- The Princeton Review (TPR): - Full set of subject books (2nd and 3rd edition, all for the NEW MCAT) + their CARS workbook...

I’m a nontraditional student who has earned an associates degree in general studies and has transferred to a 4 year institute . I am a full time student and full time employee. I currently study biology and minor in chemistry and professional health. My issue is that I will be graduating next...

For one of the schools that I was planning to apply to, I just found out that, according to the MSAR data, my MCAT score will be too old to be officially considered...by less than two weeks. I'm planning to reach out and ask them about this, but wondered if anyone had any personal experience...

Thanks in advance for reading. I'll try to keep this short - essentially I am an otherwise well-qualified applicant with no MCAT score. (feel free to skip specifics in bullet points, only showing this to demonstrate MCAT truly is the rate-limiting step for me) . TLDR at bottom - 3.88/3.94...

Hey all, I know everyone knows about the college experience. But does that exist in medical school too? I stayed at home for college, haven't really dated much in college (at all actually) and always figured I'd do it once I get into an MD or DO program. I know there is a certain period of...

Rocky GPA, NEED a high MCAT score. I want to begin studying now but I know it's early. Just feel anxious. What tools, books, study programs, anything, did you use to study for the MCAT and get a high score?

Hello everyone. What do you guys do about dumb mistakes on exams? Like I misread or some nonsense. I went over an exam and I literally CHANGED MY ANSWER TO THE WRONG ONE. I don’t know how to STOP this How am I going to do well in med school when I can’t stop making silly errors on exams? How...

Hello SDN community! I’m a middle of the road applicant so will being complete in late August/early Sept decrease my chances in a major way? What schools should I look at? Any help is appreciated!

Hello! I am a recent graduate from a mid tier liberal arts college, and hold a B.S. in Biology and a Psychology minor. Throughout undergrad, I had hoped to apply directly to medical school, but my GPA is slightly lower than competitive (cGPA: 3.37). My extracurriculars are competitive, however...

I just started studying for the mcat a few days ago, and I'm looking to apply this cycle. My goal is to take it July 10, and hopefully get 500 or above. However, I am willing to push it back to august/september or even take it july and then again in september. Do any pod students have mcat...

Hi! I just graduated college, I ended with a cGPA of 3.36 and sGpa of 3.2 Now I know my stats aren't amazing, but I would rather focus on the mcat so that's why I didn't really consider doing a PostBacc since I know I am the type of student who can't do classes and mcat prep all the same time...

Hey guys, I am currently a high school student starting university this Fall and wish to get into medical school later on. As of now, my high school studies are essentially done as I only take one academic AP course (AP Calc) which ended right now, and I am planning to prepare for university...

Hi All, I thought my toughest challenges in pre-med would be academic, financial, etc. But here I am, with just one pre-req and MCAT left to go, and my biggest challenge is: getting my family to understand how much I have to study in order to pull all this off. I work part-time, single mom, in...

Post bacc looks low because the generator assumes your GPA is a 0.0 if you did not pursue a post bacc. I’m still in undergrad. Also, the AO GPA for my senior year is low Bc my senior year will be all science classes. Thanks.

Hello everyone. I'm really in a bind. I want to avoid taking a gap year as much as possible, but I've had some unforseen circumstances. I came in a bioengineering major which ruined my gpa freshman year. Since then I've been on an upward trend and raised it to a 3.45. This summer I'm also...

Thanks in advance to any responses! My MCAT is scheduled for May 24 and I just took AAMC FL 1 today and scored a 492 (122, 121, 125, 124). I am extremely disappointed and desperately need advice. There are some gaps in my content review which may help my score as I continue studying but I do...

So I posted something like this last December and nobody really gave me a clear cut answer. Not sure what to do. cGPA is around a 3.4, same goes for sGPA or maybe a bit lower. Last semester, I got a D in Biochem. Got A's in everything else, this semester, didnt retake Biochem but got A's in...

So, I know there are threads about this, but I'd like some advice from people around here. I'm not the best standardized test taker. Got an 1800/2400 on the SAT etc. I really want to go into medicine. I enjoy the field, etc. I love science. I just have really bad anxiety. Like, waiting for...

I'm doing late-May MCAT with pre-verified primary application for late-June submission, so in between I will be focusing entirely on (initially) putting final touches on primary essay/application and writing many secondaries. I have a 3.88 sGPA and good range of ECs, so there is a real...

I am scheduled to take the MCAT May 23, score release on June 25. I wanted to maximize the time available to me to prepare for the MCAT, given the damage a poor score would might do to do my standing as an applicant (3.88 sGPA, EC boxes checked). I chose this MCAT date because it is the latest...

I'm currently in the content review phase of studying and have found my self taking forever with it. Idk, I just don't know how to approach studying for the math portion of this exam. Please advise. If it matters, my goal score is a 520. Thanks.

Just curious. High MCAT scorers, what were your SAT scores? I got a 1650 and an 1800 out of 2400. So not terrible but not great. Wondering if it’s possible for me to get a good MCAT score? Like I know it’s possible but do I have natural limitations I should be aware of? Please let me know...

Hey guys! Long story short I was supposed to take the MCAT in May but I ended up having to work wAYYYY more than I expected and had some family issues come up. I am motivated and have started reviewing for the MCAT and now I am thinking I need 3 months and technically whats left of april, May...

So, I've been doing extensive research on the medical admissions process and reading a lot of posts on SDN. I definitely got 2 things: 1) For those who graduated with a low GPA in college and want to career change, you need go through a "reinvention", and 2) You should avoid prerequisites...

Research: tons of Orgo research. honors thesis. (maybe a pub...), presenting at an national conference soon clinical: medical assistant clinical research (I know many of you say this isn't clinical experience but I talked to an ADCOM on here and was told that what I'm doing in...

I'm a reapplicant this upcoming cycle, hoping to better my MCAT score. I understand that the earlier you apply, the better and that the Texas application opens for submission on May 1st. I don't plan on taking the MCAT until May 31st (score release July 2nd). My dilemma is this: if I apply in...

So for most schools I've seen, they require a minimum of TWO science faculty letters and one nonscience letter. I'll be getting a committee letter (applying next year) LETTERS: Orgo professor (doing research and a thesis with him. May lead to publication... only thing is, got a C in his...

Hi! I’m planning on applying to med school this cycle and wanted to gauge how much people ended up spending in total. I’ve seen there are some threads for previous years as well as a cost estimator made by SDN (Medical School Application Cost Calculator by SDN), but I was hoping to get some...
