I'll (hopefully) be in c/o 2023 lmao. the long haul
is this thread alive orrrrr
Most of us are taking Ochem this year i presume? Should be fun...
Welcome!!hello! Excited to see this and join the group. I am starting a one year post bacc this summer after a career in human service/policy (child welfare and DV work). I'm excited to go on this journey; however, I am terribly nervous. No science background so next year should be interesting. Not looking forward to being an "older" student and having to figure out when to have kids during med school (I can't wait until attendinghood, clock is ticking...)
Anyway, I think it will be worth it! I hope to go hard for a year, MCATs June of 2017 and then relax during glide year. I have started with Psych/Soc section, simply because I don't think I'll have much time to prep for it with all the science classes I'll be taking in such a short time. I'm doing Khan videos and Princeton review. Hope to have a good set of notes and flash cards done by Aug. probably won't review them until closer to MCAT date.
Whats up everyone! How are finals going for you? I just finished my ochem II final it was brutal but I only needed an 83 to keep my A so hopefully that works out. Now I have to write two 10-15 page papers this week lol.
Ours was a lot of mechanisms and synthesesis. With chemistry of the various functional groups.Nice! I'm taking my ochem II 2 final this week! We're doing mostly spectrometry and its cake!
God 2022 sounds oddly futuristic for some reason, like we are going to see cyborg doctors dispensing antibiotics from their arm cannons.So I realize this is super early (sorry mods, but just continuing the annual tradition) since trad applicants just graduated from high school and will be rising "freshmen" (or sophomores/upper levels taking few gap years). But this class thread is specifically unique to the 2015 MCAT takers.
2020 thread --> mostly old MCAT takers
2021 thread --> 50-50
2022 thread --> mostly 2015 MCAT takers
So basically, this thread will be populated with 2015 MCAT stress (way too early, but I anticipate that's the case), and thus, specifically distinct from the other class threads in its unique ways.
Anyways, I'll stop talking and best wishes to the 2022ers (though I figure this thread will be active few years but might as well start early)
(Mods, please forgive this)

It's been an interesting semester haha. After coming back from my summer internship I think I was experiencing burnout because I could hardly motivate myself to get anything done, and I was waiting until the last minute to study .As of now, I'm proceeding to apply in June 2017, which is SO scary!!!! Time is flying by so fast. I'm taking the April 22nd MCAT.
How is everybody's semester (if you're still in school) going?
I think some of the schools I'm applying to are like that! This may be super unique but I think all the schools I'm applying to are my dream school lolExactly a year from now we could quite possibly be accepted already Exciting! My dream school doesn't release any acceptances until mid-Jan so that's going to suck.
We just had our first exams in many of my classes and it was a little rocky for me but I know what to do/will be using my resources so I can shoot for all As. My hardest will end up a B if I do well from here on out!As of now, I'm proceeding to apply in June 2017, which is SO scary!!!! Time is flying by so fast. I'm taking the April 22nd MCAT.

Luckily the only downside was getting one A- in an accelerated half semester class and in my other sciences I've done well enough to be sitting at the border between and A- and an A and now that we are in the second half of the semester I have renewed vigor.
How about you?

So this thread was started in 2014. The class of 2023 thread was started in 2015 and immediately locked by mods. What gives? #jelly
what class of 2023 thread?
there is also another class of 2022 thread (started later after this one) in nontrad forums with more replies than this one. my goal is to make this thread much more popular than that one (ideally 10x the replies)
There was a class of 2023 thread started in 2015 (the year after this one started). Its first post was asking how class of 2023-ers were doing. Its second post was a mod locking it for being started too early.
Currently studying for the MCAT (taking it Jan. 28) and I keep oscillating between "This is horrible" and "This is so interesting". I also simulataneously feel prepared and extremely unprepared for the exam. I've decided that I am taking it no matter what in January (I was supposed to take it last year, but canceled last minute) so I don't have to keep worrying about this one exam.
lol honestly I might be joining you! If the MCAT doesn't go well may consider taking a gap decade lmao. Even if it does go well I might still contemplate taking a gap yearI'm currently planning on taking the MCAT in April, but we'll see how I feel around March. But after some thinking I think I'm going to be applying for the class of 2023 now instead of 2022. But you guys are still cool

What scores are you guys aiming for?
Feel free to just give me the whole "you should always just do as well as you can" schpeal
