Hi people. I'm currently a transfer sophomore and so far I've taken a year of inorganic and a semester of organic. I've also taken the first core bio class (I'm a bio major).
I remember one day at the school store I think mid-way through the semester I decided to go to the bookstore and open up a MCAT prep book since I've never seen one before. I think off the top of my head I was only able to get a few ochem questions (I bet I could do more now since I'm about to take the final for the first semester). I was sort of discouraged. I thought, wow I have a long way to go. But then I thought, I really don't.
Was the MCAT overwhelming when you first started studying for it, or did you feel like the material was familiar since you saw it in all your classes? I still have to take physics and biochem, but I'm not sure what else is going to be on there. I guess I'm looking more fore reassurance that it's not as bad as I think it is than an actual answer, but similar experiences that led to triumphs would be great
