I am currently taking Physics 1 this semester (took it 4 years ago my first try at college and got a C in it) so I was taking it again for a better grade.
As far as sciences are concerned, I have taken
Anatomy I + II
Physiology I + II
Microbiology I + II
Organic Chemistry (I went straight to Orgo and never took a Gen Chem I or II (It never occurred to me that I had to take general chemistry before organic chemistry, I just asked for an override and got it. I got an A in the class and became the class tutor for 2 years after))
Biochemistry I
My science GPA is a 4.0/4.0, my overall GPA is 3.7
When I study for MCAT it makes me feel so overwhelmed. I recognize the material, but I can't put the letters in my head together into a pattern that makes sense.
I have a lot of other things going on as far as school is concerned, but I do have my BSN (as a way to make some money and exposure while I get my "ish" together)
Because so many (but not all) med schools require general chemistry should I take them even though I have orgo under my belt? It seems a little redundant, but might be nice MCAT study.
Will taking higher level science courses help me on MCAT?
A friend of mine told me he "failed" MCAT, he didn't want to tell me what he had gotten and I didn't want to push him into telling me because I didn't want him to feel worse than I KNOW he already does. We've been planning medical school since 9th grade, a decade. And his failure has me completely and totally psyched out. He's a really smart guy and sigh. I don't know I'm just very anxious.
What are your opinions?
