Do you think your predmed institution prepared you well for the MCAT ?

[FreeMeDoctor]

Mine definitely did not. I am having to learn chemistry and physics to a much deeper level than we covered it in class and all the topics that we skipped have to be learned as well. This is not good.

Mine most definitely did. Many courses understood the volume of pre-med students enrolled and prepared us well. Often these premeds are bio or biochem majors who almost always taking cell biology, biochem I and II, genetics, and animal development among others. Taking these courses as undergrads will definitely help later on in medical school.

The MCAT was a joke compared to my classes. I would rather have it the other way around though, i hate my school.

Ya...my school definitely did. Except for maybe the verbal section...

Absolutely. However SDN helped more.

I think so. ~90% of the high-yield or relevant topics, we did cover them in our classes. Just need to re-memorize and re-call some minor facts, that is all.

I do not go to a particularly prestigious undergraduate institution, and it prepared me superbly for the MCAT, with the obvious caveat that it did not prepare me for the verbal section; I am a science major, so that's to be expected.

About as well as can be expected, especially in orgo. Unfortunately, I only had 1 passage of orgo on test day but such is the way luck goes sometimes.

i agree. I think SDN was more helpful.
