My plan to score in the 99th percentile (MCAT 2015)

[yeezuswest]

I have a pretty low sGPA (3.3) and so I need to score amazingly well to have even a chance at most MD schools (DO is a perfectly fine option as well, however, I want to do as best I can regardless) My plan is as follows:

- Start studying around December/January-ish for April 2016 date while finishing off my bio degree requirements/temporarily putting off EC's for the semester
- Sign up for some Kaplan/TPR/other prep course that is TBD
- Make anki cards for every topic listed in the "List of topics" provided by MCAT
- Review said cards as much as possible
- Do a practice FL at least once a week until the exam (starting a month or two before the date)
- Anything else?

FOCUS ON BIOCHEM and do lots of passages more than memorization.

Also, you don't need a 99% and this place makes it seem much more attainable than it is

I would make sure you are taking a low number of credits or if at all possible I'd recommend you wait to be able to study over the summer. I'd also recommend developing a schedule similar to sn2ed's or @mcatjelly 's
