Just keep plugging at it. I agree, it's really stressful, and it's a bitch no doubt, but it's something you have to do. And all pre-meds before you went through. Make sure to take periodic breaks. Good luck!

I recommend devoting your MCAT semester completely (or at least almost completely) to the MCAT, unless it will push your graduation back by a year or something. In my prep class the ones who managed not to be uber stressed, and who did best on the test, were the ones who treated it as a 9 credit class, rather than something they could just 'tack on' to everything else they were doing.

welcome to the path of medicine you have chosen. Prepare for 8-12 more years of stress and exhaustion!

I think each step of the process prepares you for more stress...

mcat stress is followed by application stress, acceptance/waitlist/rejection hell, waiting on med school to start.

looking back, that stress wasn't that bad. but looking ahead I'm slightly overwhelmed. believe me, your level of stress tolerance will improve with time.

This is the third or so topic you've started in the past couple of weeks complaining about how stressed you are and how hard your classes are. Maybe you should try a different approach to the way you deal with your academic life; it only gets worse, not better.

Not really; I just happen to remember the OP whenever I see his/her screenname because he/she sent me a PM once.

FML? Man kids these days. So quick say things like this. It's sad.

OP, sorry, but if you don't want to do it, don't. Nobody is making you do this. This is your life. Now if you want to become a doctor, it's a path you will have to take, so suck it up. Quite frankly, there is much more stress involved in applying than taking the MCAT. And from what I've gathered that's not even the end of it. It will continue throughout medical school and beyond.

The OP is a troll.

I think you're in the wrong place. FML is another website.
