Getting into medical school or never having to take the MCAT ever, ever again???

I'm really not sure....
 
Hmmm - I guess "getting into medical school" would be better.

I didn't think the MCATs were that bad. I wish I could take it again to get a higher score.

First time I took it, didn't study.
Got 10V, 10B, 11P

Second time I took it, I spent a month studying (of course, this is in the spring so I had school work to worry about)
Got 9V, 11B, 11P

Now, I know I can do better in the physical and biological sections

BUT

alas, can't take it over again, which should be a good thing, right? 😕
 
group : you are in a small group who did that well and didn't think it was that bad, especially without studying.

for me the better thing would be knowing I got into a medical school.
