Hey so I know a lot of us were posting on June MCAT'ers unite, but I want to get to know the progress of all of us 6/21'ers in particular. Let's do it.
I think more difficult. It was the worst I'd ever done on verbal (9...averaged 11). I definitely had to guess on more than a few.I wonder if the June 21 verbal was extra difficult or just a strict scale
Deciding whether to retake the MCAT. AAMC and Kaplan averages were around 33. Five of the last six of my practice exams before the real thing were 34+. Verbal average was around 10-11 with nothing lower than a 9 since my diagnostic.
Took the MCAT on June 21 and got a 13 (ps) 7 (v) 10 (bio) for a total of 30.
I have a 3.75 c and sgpa from a top 10 school and have around 100 hours clinical volunteering and 1500 hours of research. Great LOR and pretty solid PS. Getting verified within the next day or two.
Im 90% sure I need to retake, just need some advice. Also, if I retake in September, is it too late to continue with my application for this cycle? Do I need to withdraw and apply next cycle? I only applied on AMCAS to one school in case I needed to withdraw to avoid reapplicant status.
I initially thought it was easier, but now that I think about it I'm pretty sure that I may have missed most of the questions on 2 passages due to mis interpretation. With that said verbal was my weak section and other than taking more philosophy and lit classes, I don't think I could have prepared more for verbal.I wonder if the June 21 verbal was extra difficult or just a strict scale
I think the best way to think about the exam is to think about the heterogeneity among the AAMC practice exams. Each one was different and emphasized different concepts. This is a good way of thinking because the current exams differ from one another depending on the date. You never truly know what you are going to get. The July 2 did not seem to have anymore calculations than any of the AAMCs. Moreover, it is important to recognize that no matter how calculation heavy problems may appear, they can usually be solved conceptually much faster.Can anyone assure me that FL1-11 is not outdated. After hearing everyone complain about heavy calculations in Physics and more experimental passages, part of me had a nightmare that the 2014 MCAT has half-way evolved into a 2015 MCAT like a Charmeleon after a Charmander but before a Charizard.

Did you already have your app in before the test ? I waited until I got my score and then sent in my app, at that point it showed about a month to verify, so I am not expecting to hear anything soon.Hey guys, has anyone who took 6/21 exam heard back from any schools yet? Since they didn't get our scores til late July I'm wondering when we can expect to start getting interviews...
