Hi all!
I was hoping I could get more information/"guidance" on my current pre-med situation. I applied this past cycle (a little later in the game, submitted my primary in October and finished my secondaries before November... yikes, I know) and have not heard any news yet. I've taken the MCAT four times previously (the first I was unaware all scores would get reported) and my highest score has been a 502. I was wondering if it was completely absurd to take the exam again (this time more prepared and with a test-prep course) or if I should start looking into Master's Programs without retaking it quite yet. Once again, just looking for some guidance if at all available
You’re not in a good spot having taken the exam 4 times with the highest being a 502.
What were the other scores, in order? What are your GPAs.
What led you to taking the exam 4 times with low scores that you have not thought about a prep-course before?
Depending on your GPAs, an SMP may be your best course of action, but with 4 previous exam attempts without significant improvements is questionable.
Definitely do not take it again until you’re ready, be it through an SMP, post-bacc, review course, tutor, etc.
Are you currently in school or have an advisor of any sort or have you been advised before?
