Hey SDN, just looking for some advice. I am filling out Tufts secondary optional essay and I'm not sure if I should use that to explain my MCATs.
MCAT 1 in March 2013: 25. I underestimated the time needed to study, was also working, classes, etc but I don't want to use excuses to explain that.
MCAT 2 in April 2014: 30 (10P/8V/12B) and took a KAPLAN class.
MCAT 3 in Jan 2015: 34(13P/8V/13B) entirely self study.
Do you think its necessary for me to explain that? Do I need to explain my verbal score? The only way I can think about approaching this is saying that I am persistent and I changed my study habits each time.
