Hi I applied DO school last year but dropped the application at the end because of a poor August MCAT score. I was so frustruated with my result that I took some time to go overseas traveling... But now I looked at the consequences, learned from them, and decided to use those lessons to make better decisions in the future. Rather than focusing on the pain of the MCAT experience, I have decided to continue to focus on my goal. I'm planning to retake the MCAT next April. (second time) However some of my pre-requisites are approx. 8-9 years old, though I've been out of school for only 2 years. I graduated from grad school 2 years ago but mostly I took graduate level biomedical science courses. Still, I'm slightly concerned about my old undergraduate pre-requisite. Do you think it's better to take these classes again while preparing for the April MCAT 06? or just prepare for the MCAT while working as a EMT or science teacher? I've been teaching /tutoring AP biology chemistry physics since graduate school so I don't think it necessary to refresh my memory by taking actual classes.
I just didn't think that it was really important to show the most recent courework (within a year) to ADCOM...
Any opinions?? I would appreciate!!
