Alright so I bombed the MCAT 21 P 🙁 ! I think what made it worse was that I found out while working the end of a 16hr shift in the ER after 3 redbulls and just wanted to collapse! This score along with my crap 3.0 GPA pretty much crushes all hopes for getting in for me! It sucks to think we devote so much time. money and effort to obtain scores and never really get evaluated as a person for medical school! anyways I'm off to drown my sorrows woth some more redbull, with vodka this time! just wanted to whine for a bit!

hey moe.

cheer up. did u already apply for this cycle? if you did, give it your best, send in updates if you can, and prepare to either retake the MCAT, or have some good grades in this semester to send off. if you already started, dont give up hope.

if you didnt apply yet, take a breather, get off SDN, and crack those books and gear up for january!

this whole process is a crapshoot. keep your head up!

moe-

yeah it sucks. i got a 21Q two years ago...after i cried my eyes out and drank my weight in beer, i decided i still wanted to be a doctor. so i took a year off after college, beefed up my app (volunteering, research, non degree grad courses), and raised that mcat to a number i always knew i was capable of.

first application cycle: waitlisted at 1 DO school (apparently some grant interviews to applicants with a 21 mcat!)
second application cycle: 13 interview invites (11 DO, 2 MD), 4 DO acceptances thus far, waiting on those MD's (damn you oct. 15th).

my advice: only take one vodka night to drown your sorrows, stick with it, see ya in a year. 😉

I agree, plus quit working those long shifts with multiple redbulls. You aren't on rotations and you'll have plenty of time to get experience when you're in medical school. As a premed, I was working in the ER for 5 or 6 hours max per WEEK for about 2 months and it was enough to write in my PS that I saw the what a physician has to deal with by giving a few stories. You have plenty of time to get that score way up by January 👍

The January MCAT is still valid for some of the DO schools. If you are serious about applying this year, that may be your means of getting in. Kick butt on them.

Never give up..either study for the Jan MCAT or wait til next cycle. You seem to have some ok EC's..so apply and see what happens..and tell them you are taking the Jan MCat.

Good luck

I got a 23Q 🙁

Can you guys post the schools that you know would accept Jan. 2007 scores? I only applied to 3 schools this cycle.

Good luck to you Moedog. You never know unless you try. And watch too much of that Redbull and vodka. Stimulant + Depressant = Bad Stuff
