I'm taking MCAT this August. However, recently I have started to feel that I'm not well prepared. Anyway, I'll still take the MCAT this August. Now, if I don't get good scores then I'll retake it in April, 2001. Regarding this I have few questions:
1.) Does retaking the MCATs look bad to adcoms?
2.) If I have to retake it in April 2001, then I'm thinking to take off from college for that spring semester so that I could study very hard and boost my MCATs. I'll also have then plenty of time to do volunteer work because I haven't done any volunteer work so far. Now, do you think it is a bad idea to take off from college for one semester for MCATs? Will adcom look at it negatively?
I realize that I'll be one year late in entering medical school if, indeed, I opt to take off for one semester.
Is there anyone out there who has been through this and yet accepted to a medical school?
Please respond. Thanks a lot.
