I was pre-med for all of college. I graduated with a 3.6 gpa and completed everything necessary to be a successful med school applicant except for the MCAT. I’ve been studying for the MCAT for 2 months and haven’t broken 495 on a practice exam yet. I am using a Kaplan course but I feel as though I’ll never grasp the info at the level necessary to score > 500. I’m wondering when it’s time to admit defeat and pursue something else? I’m already 22 and beginning to worry that I’m just wasting more time at this point. I’m the type of person that would be happy in nearly every career. Although medicine is the goal, I’ve started to consider pharmacy, optometry, and even law. Any advice on whether or not to throw in the towel? What are some good alternative careers?
