I am interested in buying the used 2020-2021 version of the kaplan books, but I do not get the online stuff. Is it worth it?

Hello, I am a resident of WV. My top two schools to apply to are Marshall University JCESOM (MD) & WVSOM (DO) in Lewisburg. I plan on applying to only a few more DO schools but only 1 MD. My current undergraduate cgpa is 3.31 & bcpm gpa is 3.4 & a mcat of 495. I plan on retaking my mcat this...

The colour of the radiation does not change nor does the medium which is why I was able to cut out B. C is just wrong based on what I know, but I don't understand how to differentiate between A and D. When does the propagation speed change?

I've submitted quite a few DO secondaries, but I'm taking the MCAT in July. Which schools, if any, will be interviewing before receiving MCAT scores?

Hi everyone I'm a reapplicant. I received a 504 the first time on the mcat with 129 in CARS and 125 in everything else. I was going to retake the MCAT June 27th, but my practice exam scores are between a 507-509 and I'm trying to shoot for at least a 510. I was wondering if pushing my MCAT back...

Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to give me some guidance on these issues - here's what I have going on: - My current scheduled test date for MCAT is June 27th. I posted another thread about how I've been studying for it and people have suggested that I should postpone to get the best...

Hello! I'm conflicted on whether I should take a Mid-August MCAT test date (right before the start of the new semester) or wait until January 2021? I've finished all pre-req courses and I'm currently taking biochemistry online (will finish end of July). I will be entering Junior year with a...

Honestly wondering what it takes to get into HMS. I have selected 15 or so MD programs, and considering HMS even though its practically impossible lmao.

One of the questions asks how to titrate sebacic acid and the answer is to dissolve it in a base and then use acid to titrate. I'm just wondering...why do we dissolve in a base if it's an acid? For all titration questions, do we always dissolve in the opposite solution e.g. if we wanted to...

Hello, I’m a 26 year old non-traditional student and need a decent Mcat score for my 3.32 gpa. I have a science/bio background but need to do some serious content review for the MCAT and not sure about the timeframe I should leave for this. I’m starting a post/bac program end of August. Would...

My plan was to just do the regular 7hr MCAT and focus on my time per passage (Eg: 9min for a 6 question CARS passage), as well as only take 10min breaks. I figure this will help me build stamina and the 5hr test should (hopefully) feel easier fatigue wise after doing a bunch of 7hr tests with...

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well during these trying times. I need some advice. I am going to be an incoming freshman at Michigan State University for the fall semester of 2020. Going to med school is my dream. I am planning on majoring in Supply Chain Management (#1 program in US) because...

As everyone knows, the applications are going to be sent out July 10, two weeks later than the original dates. When is the latest that I can take it to be early?

I've been reading 3 JW CARS passages per day for about a month now, but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I know everyone says CARS improvement is slow, but I'm starting to feel like I need to branch out. I have the Kaplan CARS book since it came with the full set, but I've been avoiding...

So this summer I was considering taking calculus 1 over the summer. Due to corona, this class will be online but it will be offered by the college that I attend. Will it look bad if I take it over the summer as opposed to next semester? Should I take another course or not bother with it? I’m...

Hoping for some realistic advice about my chances of an MD program/what i need on the MCAT my stats: cGPA: 3.5 and sGPA: 3.3 (not unlikely that I could end UG with a 3.55-3.6 GPA) MCAT unknown as of yet FL/MO residency highly selective undergrad Clinical experience: Kidney disease screening...

Hello, this is the first post that I've created. I have been reading SDN posts since my Junior year of high school, but as admissions deadlines near, I have decided to start using it more seriously. A little bit about myself: I am 22 F, Caribbean black, bisexual 1st generation, bilingual with...

Hello, I applied to a bunch of schools last summer, but I withdrew my application to all the schools after getting my MCAT score. I had applied toward the end of the cycle anyway and wanted to retake the MCAT. I did not submit any secondaries prior to withdrawing. I emailed all the schools about...

The volunteers at SDN have decided that it was time to create ‘Study Buddy’ mega-threads for those interested in linking up with other people in preparation of exams, such as the DAT, MCAT, and PCAT. In the past, most of these threads were moved to the Classified section or were left behind...

Hi all, I am planning to take the MCAT at the end of my summer break (3 months) and am aiming for MD programs. Would anyone recommend taking the entire summer off to study for the MCAT? I was initially planning on doing research for ~30 hours/week for 2 months, but I was wondering if I am...

Hi I am looking to interact with someone who has gotten MCAT accommodation successfully or knows well about the application process for it. I am applying for it this year. I would really appreciate if I can chat with them about my application and discuss about it.

Hi, I just took the first full length practice test from aamc and got a 503, I got a 123 (26th percentile) in phych/soc because I haven't started studying those yet. I'm taking the test on May 16. Is it possible to get to 515+ considering I'm also studying full time? I got 126 in cars and...

Hi! So my plan for the MCAT was to use TBR + Kaplan for content review and Uworld as my main question bank. I hope to get through Uword so I want to start asap but my concern is how much content review do I need to get done before I start Uworld? Is there a certain way to limit the Uworld...

Hello all - I am planning on applying to both MD and DO schools starting this May. I have a pretty good idea about which schools I want to apply to, but I am unsure on when to take the MCAT. I am currently taking my last semester of pre-requisites and I am contemplating waiting until May 9th...

Title says it all! Looking to get opinions on how in-depth the review should be. AAMC recommends around 300-350 hours of review. For example: The concept of Gluconeogenesis, to what it extent would it need to be reviewed? Does understanding what it is and what it does suffice or does every...

Looking for opinions on my situation and if they will combine well to make an application unique. Not sure where to begin so I’m gonna lay it all out. I originally attended community college for three semesters many years ago and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. My grades were horrible and so I...

Hi SDN, I've decided to push my MCAT back to March. My latest score was a 505 (127/125/128/125) on AAMC FL2 and I'm really hoping for a 515+. I've completed the SB's (BB: 59%, CP: 68%, PS: 64%) and UW (50-55% on each section). I'm planning on doing the Q-Packs, then re-doing UW and the SB's...
