Hi all,

I'm cross-posting from reddit, if you've already seen this.

Inspired by reading the advice and conventional wisdom on MCAT retakes (below 30, low section score, etc) given here and over on r/premed - as well as my extreme levels of boredom at work - I wanted to spend some time collecting and looking at data that might shed some light on the quantitative risks of retaking the MCAT.

Basically, I would like to see if there are any correlative relationships between GPA trends, initial MCAT score, time elapsed between exams, changes in study habit, etc on performance on MCAT retakes. I'll be looking at data published on here, by the AAMC, and data collected through a brief, anonymous survey that I've created. The survey takes less than 2 minutes to complete and if you've taken the MCAT at least once, I'd genuinely appreciate your help!

Thanks
 
The AAMC knows this info, they should just be nice like the SAT and include on the score report
