That test was like, 2 months ago. Im hitting around 28-30 now
How do you get high scores in PS? It's like whenever I do mine and feel like I know the material I do some problems and screw up majorly. Mechanics hates me

@serenade my PS score is a product of my tough as hell physics classes and gen chem classes at my university, lol at least something came from that XD

Uhhh....
why are you retaking your 31.....?
i also got a 31 and want to retake mine because of verbal... my stats are in the list
You're being ridiculous by putting yourself in the underdogs list, even worse by retaking a 31.
Its expiring at most schools.

A new MCAT is expiring already? (New as in the current version. You must have taken it when it first came out or something).
Mcats only last 3 years.
Yep, I took it in 2011 and most schools wont accept it anymore
Yes, I know.... but it hasn't been too long since the newer version of mcat came out.....
That doesn't mean the 3 year time limit goes away.

:O A 7 verbal will not keep you out of DO schools, unless you are applying to MD.
ALL DO schools will love the 12's in PS and BS.

I'm really tempted to bite all these people with fabulous MCATs and GPAs who like thinking they're underdogs.

IMO we should have a cut off, one of the following gives you UD status:
- cGPA <3.2
- sGPA <3.2
- MCAT <25
- Canadian/International
- IA
Seconded!
Third....ed.
Also the current mcat format is like.. 8 years?
By the power vested in me by the State of StudentDoctor Forums, I now declare this law.
Sent from my LG-LS995 using Tapatalk
Good, my stupid MCAT groups me with you wonderful, down to earth people. All the best. /coxinthehouse
Are you trying to say current mcat has been like the current format for past 8 years???
um.... considering there is a thread created in 2012 talking about removal of writing section..... I call your wiseas$ comment bull****.
http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/no-more-writing-section-on-mcat.906066/
Read for understanding and comprehension.
Yes, they removed the WS. But largely current mcat has not significantly changed since it became computerized about a decade ago. The WS honestly was just the section people took naps during.

due to multiple concerns and comments, I feel the civil obligation and responsibility to restore some order to this thread by removing my own stats from the list. Apologies!
No one really cared about the WS anyway.
I barely tried the first time I took it and got an R. If I had practiced I would have gotten an S or T.
If you wanna share your stats, there is a spreadsheet link on the 2014-2015 applicant stats thread where you can do so, without underdog rules.
so, I was right and you were wrong...
Thank you, thank you very much. It's not an embarrassing thing to admit you were wrong...

Well over 2000 hours volunteer work, including overseas medial missions.
Excellent LORs including physician on the admissions board for Wayne State School of Medicine.

Just to give you some confidence, I have a very good friend who bombed undergrad, took a couple years off, went back, did about as well as you in his masters, killed the MCAT and is now at UNC (arguably one of the best med schools in the country). So good luck man, really play to the strength of your story and growth, I think it really really helped my friend.
Just go to the osteopathic page a nd pick school specific forums
oops sorry bout that! Franker seemed like a guy name, my apologies heh
Yea stupid MSU email username hahah
You're going to want to do grade replacement to get the sGPA above 3.0. And hope you hit your MCAT average! MPH grades won't help much, but its good they are decent.
You said version. The removal of a section does not alter the version. Sorry, you are the weakest link, good bye.
An MPH is what I would call a very strong EC. It won't likely bring you a lot of interviews, but it'll bring you attention at the interview.
Haha, look at you. So sad.
