I am taking my MCAT next summer, I plan on applying in 2023, I will also be in school full time until the summer, and I am taking a longer than normal time to study because I have ADHD, and I know I will need it. I just bought the 12-month blueprint online course. Am also looking at Uworld...

Hey guys, I’m sure many of you are sick and tired of seeing pots like this but just need to for my own sake and sanity through this. I have a 3.44 cGPA and a 3.33 sGPA with an upward trend. 1000+ total hours with research, shadowing, clinical volunteering etc. I have a fifth author pub and a...

I got a 504 (126/124/124/130) on the 6/26 7:30AM exam and I'm devastated. What's crazy to me is that I felt so much better compared to my first exam coming out. I thought I had done so well on C/P and CARS. I stupidly brought a watch out on break, so they had to pause my exam for 10 minutes...

When reading about the scholarship, I typically read that 500 (124 minimum on each section) is the minimum to receive the scholarship. If I am below that minimum MCAT, but above average on GPA with good EC’s, could I still receive the scholarship if I get an acceptance letter? Thanks!

I have done some research and think using different resources for different subjects would be a good idea. What I have found so far is that the Berkley Review for chem and physics, I found Reddit flashcard for psych and sociology, kaplan for biochem, and review exam cracker. Is there any other...

Will reading articles in Cell or Nature help me for CARS??

Is it possible to apply prior to receiving my MCAT score? I bumped my test date to Sept. 3rd and will receive my scores (hopefully) late September, early October. Is it possible to apply with the rest of my application in August when the cycle opens?

Title says it all. This question is specifically for those who scored 515+ but anyone is welcome to respond!

Hi, life has been hectic lately and I feel like I should push my MCAT date to August so that I am 100% prepared. Do people think this will be too late? I know this cycle is a little different since there are schools that aren't requiring the MCAT (or at least some are not giving admission...

So I have recently decided to push my exam back. My exam is scheduled for June 30th but I am still yet to break 500 (my highest score was 497). I know that it is too late for me to raise my score so I plan on pushing it back or canceling it. When it comes to content I find that I struggle with...

Hello everyone! I recently got accepted to medical school and do not need my Princeton Review online course anymore. It has served me well and helped me get a 514, but since Im done with it I decided to sell it it for les than a third of the price I got it for to whoever wants it. It goes for...

Has anyone gone through the process to get accomodations to pump breast milk during the MCAT? I'm fine pumping during the 30 minute break but AAMC Accomodations suggested applying for accomodations otherwise they can't guarantee a private room for me to pump in. I have to follow the guidelines...

Hi guys I just finished a master's SMP and am waiting for my final grades. I am taking my mcat Aug 7 so schools will get the score a month from then in Sept. When should I turn in my primary?? I know asap but I have been waiting for my final grades from this sem to come up since I just finished...

Hello, I had a question about the application of physics on the MCAT. For questions should I take into account homeostatic mechanisms when answering or should I solely be applying Physics equations/theories? For example, with the cardiovascular system they might ask a question about blood flow...

Hey guys! Apologies for the long post. I am just starting to study for an MCAT retake. To give you a little background, I took the NextStep free diagnostic on 4/12 while I was still in classes and got a 495 (ouch, I know). I began studying full time on May 4th using a new study method once my...

See the attached. The AAMC is being sued in California Superior Court for libel. The lawsuit alleges the AAMC publishes scores about test-taking consumers to third parties (like veterinary, podiatric and osteopathic medical schools) without any standardized process to prove CARS answers as...

I am currently set to retake the MCAT on June 18th. I originally took it in July of 2018 and got a 513 (cGPA was 3.61, BCPM GPA was 3.47). I did not receive any acceptances in the two years that I applied and am attempting to apply again. However, I am not sure how I should go about submitting...

I have decided to bump my MCAT test date back to allow more time to study. I don't feel comfortable moving forward. Is it possible to secure another test date without cancelling my current one? I'd hate to cancel and then not have another test date available.

Hey guys I’m really confused as to what I should do and can really use some advice. (Also apologies if this is not the correct area to post this). I originally wrote my MCAT last summer and I didn’t do as good as I wanted to (Canadian). If I don’t get accepted to med school this year I should...

I am currently enrolled in orgo II and will need to take the lab separately. I was planning on taking it during the summer I session but I'd like to take it in the fall instead after applying this cycle as I would like to devote my time to finishing my mcat prep and exam. Would this affect my...

Hi everyone. Just curious how to list certain things? I understand we get ten - fifteen slots and three can be most meaningful. Organic research - did it for a bit, had a thesis, defended it and presented at multiple conferences and received several research grants. Should these be listed as...

Hello everyone, I was wondering how to proceed. I will be taking my MCAT in June, and my school requires a minimum 500 MCAT for a committee letter interview. By taking in June, I will have the score by July, and the GPA requirement is a 3.5. Is it considered late? My plan was to submit...

Hey everyone, Earlier this week we announced on instagram (@MCAT_MVP) that we have free MCAT questions. If anyone is interested the website is www.mcatlineup.com Thanks!

Hello. Just curious if there are schools that do this? I saw threads on here but most of them seem to be at least five years old. I was wondering if schools like BU still take your last 32 credit hours? Also, how does this match up to MSAR? MSAR reports GPAs of a lot higher than what I see...

So I decided on an Undergrad. The undergrad I choose has a 7 year program but you have to decide in your FIRST SEMESTER OF YOUR FIRST YEAR. (First of all why) The medical school is a separate school from my undergrad but they are affiliated. (I am attending DePaul University for undergrad and...
