5. Please feel free to comment on any course grades, GPA trends, or MCAT scores and what you have learned about yourself. (No limit)
For this question, I took the MCAT four times, with a huge score jump (10 points) in my most recent attempt. Should I talk about this here? I included a narrative on how I started working as an ER tech during this time and seeing the application of textbook material to clinical settings is what allowed me to connect ideas and go more in-depth into my studies. Or, should I leave blank?
Also, a two-part here, but I got a C+ in Organic Chemistry, my only grade below a B ever. I felt like since it was a one-time thing it was better to address the bigger elephant, being the MCAT retakes. Am I right for this?

@Premedhopeful2256 is this part of the prompt this year?? or are you looking at last year's?

This was pulled directly from my application. I submitted already and decided to focus on MCAT after I got advice on reddit.

[Cogentquacks]

Is anyone else having issues with the "Explain your connection" part regarding ties to NJ? I have written my response, but the page is still being marked as incomplete and I'm still being prompted to answer it.
