But I also think anyone* can succeed on the MCAT even if they are broke (as I was/am, see above) if they study the right way while they take their pre-reqs in the first place.
* provided they grew up speaking English.
For the record, I also did well on the MCAT- but my classist comment still stands. I'd say most everyone agrees it would be/was much easier to study for an MCAT tester who had the luxury of taking x time off from work/school etc to specifically study for the MCAT than it would be/is for the applicant who has to work 40+ hours/school/school + work etc. while doing so.
However, wiloghby, I think you're selling yourself short. Applications are much more than just stats, fer real. Congrats on the high score and your initial interviews!
