...Haven't got my MCAT scores back yet, but I am expecting 35+.
.
I think the point is a lot of people are surprised by their scores no matter how much they prep. A lot of people are not surprised as well. Anyone who feels you are wasting their time can feel free not to respond.My last AAMC practice test was 39 (13 PS, 12 BS, 14 VR). I improved steadily throughout my 2 month study period. The real MCAT was equivalent in terms of difficulty. That is what I'm basing my expected score on. I don't feel like I'm wasting anyone's time by expecting a 35. I know my capabilities.
All you people need to quit being an elitest and quit the "I'll believe your 35+ MCAT score when I see" (aka I'm jealous that you got a 35 MCAT and don't want to give you good advice b/c you'll be my competition). Give the poor man a break. If he lied that he got a 36 MCAT -- no one would have known or questioned him and would have given him the advice he was seeking.
Nope, as long as you're not Early Decision, it's my understanding that you can add schools at pretty much any time.I was under the impression it was necessary to apply to all potential schools at the time the application is submitted. That's actually quite a relief for me, since although I'm confident in my ability, I'm not trying to deny surprises can happen even when one is well-prepared. Especially with VR, luck is a factor. I am even continuing to take practice exams periodically, so I'm ready to take the MCAT again should that become necessary. Thanks for the advice, I will follow it.
Bumping this since I got my scores back today. Got a 35 like I suspected. I'd appreciate any advice anyone can give me about my school selection process. Thanks for the help!
