To mimicat, thanks for your empathy, it seems no one on this board can get over the fact i took the mcat 6 times. It really isn't that big of a deal, the dean of admissions at my local state school, said most adcoms don't look at number but the most recent, and he also told me it shows alot of determination. I'm not saying be 27 years old is old by anymeans but I would like to start seeing the end of the tunnel as far as educational goals are concerned. I am impressed with your efforts.
To racergirl, thanks for your advice, too. Honestly, the first four times I was not prepared, and I did make it my top priority but when the background knowledge isn't there, there is not much one can do, memorizing is fine, but there has to be a strong foundation. so, why four times for me to figure this out, well, i was young and in pre-law originally and with very little studying I made A's and was deemed very intelligent by my professors, I was cocky and thought like everything else in my life a good MCAT score would just fall pretty easily into my lap. Why it took four times to realize this i think i just thought maybe this would be the time. But honestly, this is the first time after 21 hours of hard-core graduate courses i feel like i know my sciences. And it seems if i don't know the answer on practice passage questions that it is not too bad to try to reason out the right answer about 80% of the time. Does this make sense. Also, not one dean at any medical school that I have talked to has ever said anything negative about the amount of times i've taken the mcat. Its not like I am some dummy who is aspiring for unreachable dreams, i am very intelligent and capable.
