Hello everyone,
This forum has been a major help for me studying for the mcat, and I thought I would ask for some help because I am really having a hard time, I feel like I've hit the bottom and can use any help I can get. I recently graduated this year with a 3.9 with a chemistry degree and took the mcat twice- (23-8/7/8) and then a year later (24-9,6,9). I really tried my hardest and my scores always ranged between a 28-33, I don't know how I scored that low on my second attempt. The first time I was short on time, but the second time I finished sections right on time, and was confident with the verbal but it does not seem so. My average and scores really do not correlate, I truly believe I am just a lousy test taker.
Do I have any chances at D.O schools this year, I feel like my chances are really slim and/or down the drain. Does anyone recommend applying? There are no spots open for the January test as well. I have nobody to talk to and am currently unemployed. I invested three full months of studying for this test and I feel like taking it a third time would be a risk. I used kaplan for prepping. I really want to take it a third time, but how shall I go about this? I am so discouraged and my family is just telling me that I should do something else. If anyone has been a similar situation or can offer advice, please anything is appreciated?
Thanks so much for your time.
