I have finished all MCAT content review and will be reviewing everything again and doing passages, FLs, etc. from now to my test date in January.

Here is my schedule:

Evolution
Ecology
English 2 (online)
Greek Mythology

Research 2 days a week
Volunteering Hospice care (4 hours/week)

Is it too much?

Not at all... Then again, this is assuming you don't go out and party a lot, and don't spend excessive amounts of time studying.
 
as long as you dont expect much of a social life/time for doing anything fun this semester yeah it's possible...
 
lol that schedule is a joke. see if you can get greek mythology classified as BCPM though....
 
This is definitely not too much! Just do your best. Put in effort like you never have before and you'll be fine. Personally, I do best when I have so much on my plate that one wrong move will mess everything up. The added pressure worked to my advantage in studying for MCAT. While I may not have gotten an amazing score, it is still decent and satisfactory to me. Maybe pressure doesn't have the same effect on you, but I'm just letting you know this is a very manageable endeavor!
 
I studied for the MCAT with a similar load ( 2 Credits of Research, Synaptic Transmission, Russian Fairy Tales, Statistics, and Biochem) and it was ok. You just kinda have to give up on fun for a semester.

This is fine. Develop a schedule and stick to it. Ramp up your studying during winter break and try to peak around your test date. Even if you fall a bit short during the semester, you can "cram" (50 hours a week of studying) over winter break and still be okay.
 
Haha I wish that was my schedule. Looks very doable.
 
That schedule provides more than enough time to study and relax, especially since you already finished up your content review.
 
With the rapid development of our society, the campus is no longer an "ivory tower". Students must get in touch with the world out side the campus so that they can adapt themselves to edmonton escort society more quickly when they graduate.
Almost all students keep themselves informed through TV, radio broadcasts and newspapers. Some of them even edmonton escorts take up a part-time job in their spare time. such as working as tutors and serving in some fast food restaurants. All this enables students to keep in touch with society.
Now the summer vacation will come edmonton asian escort and l've already found myself a job-working as a typist in an office. I am good at typing and I think I can do this job well. It's a good chance for me to get to know society, to learn how edmonton asian escorts to get along with my colleagues and to see how my knowledge is put into practice. When the next semester begins, I'll still try to get some job of this kind at every weekend. Regardless of the pay, I think the most important thing is that I can really know a lot about society.

Um... alright, thanks for the advertisement. Can someone move this to craigslist?

OP if you structure your MCAT studying and stick to a schedule, you should be able to do it.
 
I don't know what school you go to, but a schedule like that would be an absolute easy joke at my school. You'll have a lot of time for other things.
 
lol that schedule is a joke. see if you can get greek mythology classified as BCPM though....

I see what you did there.😀 But yeah OP you should definitely have enough time to study for the MCAT.
 
Hi OP, I would recommend cutting out as much as you can with the MCAT. I'm sure you can do it, but if your scores aren't where you want them to be it might be harder to pull them up before the test day.

Good luck!
 
I would love that schedule. I think you'll have plenty of time. How does mine look?

Biochem w/lab
Intro to philosophy
A sociology class
Human nutrition
Research

I think I might drop a class because I'll be volunteering ~8 hours a week as well

Five months for a 2nd review and passages/FLs? That's much too long. Take a page out of SN2ed's book and cut this time down significantly. You won't need 5 months to finish passages/FL's and aquaint yourself with the exam. You will be doing yourself a disservice to stretch this very important portion of study over such a long bit of time.
