Maybe taking time to regroup might help. Take it on your terms when you feel absolutely unstoppable. I hope everything works out for you. Take care.

regroup. read the 30+ thread. I'm no genius and got a 32M. my GPA and ungrad transcripts are not pretty and no i'm not one of 3.5 GPA complainers.

be sure to change something if you have not this time. start earlier. USE SDN!!! I owe SDN mad loot right now.

YOu are young, no need to rush into things. Consider retaking

 

[LT2]

have you thought about the DO route? if you really want the MD, one year off is a drop in the bucket if you end up following your dream! take that year to beef up your application and study again for next april/august. good luck, keep your head up and don't ever give up on your dreams.

i'm 34. you are way ahead of me even if you get into med school 3 years later. 1 year is nothing.

exploit your resources. there are tons of people here who may help you. you completed all the basic sciences? what is your GPA?

Don't give up so easily. You're only 23. If this is something you want to do for the rest of your life, I would definitely give it another shot if I were you. Who knows, maybe in a year or two DepressedPremed will become HappyMedStudent

Have you been doing practice tests?

Is it a timing issue?

What methods of prep have you been using?

Based on your score, I'd say you're making fundamental mistakes, e.g. missing out on the "big picture." My advice: make your textbooks your best friend for a yr, and watch your score skyrocket.

not concentrating i guess...not retaining information.........and its hard to apply it to some weird questions the mcat has....

Hey, I PM'ed you.

Buy the EK Audio Osmosis and the books. By just listening to those CD's and doing some practice tests, I raised my April 19 to a 23. You can raise it. Its just how bad do you want it.

please take it again. i think that the circumstances you mentioned did indeed play a significant factor. we're not robots here--problems do affect how we do profoundly. if you do take it again, one technique i know for verbal that worked reasonably well (i got a 10, which is not great, but it is okay) is: count number of questions in passage, add 3 minutes..example: a passage has 5 questions = 8 minutes. a passage has 10 questions = 13 minutes, etc.

good luck to you with whatever choice you make!!!!
