If anyone is in a similar situation (i.e. studying for the MCAT while in an intense graduate program or working an intense schedule) please post your strategy!
 
The average pre-medical student spends 300 hours studying for the MCAT! That may sound like a lot of hours, but the MCAT is a difficult test and requires thorough preparation. For students studying part-time during the school year (15-20 hours per week), this can be completed over a period of 4-6 months. For students studying full-time over the summer (30-40 hours per week), this can be done in 2-3 months.

Just saw your post years later hoping to gain some insight on your transition to MD? I am a current PA student, 25, and unsure if it's even worth it at this point. Thank you!
