personnaly, i think it is a good thing to have gone through the MCAT. it really changes one forever in the sense that one learns in a clear way that 1-practice makes perfect 2- the key to excellence in academics and professional positions is to be able to read fast and understand what you read. 3-a strategy must be developed and adhered to accomplish things more efficiently. 4-that under stress, one must make haste slowly by calming down before making a decision. 5-precision in verbal self-expression is paramount and that professionals should expect to be taken litterally when they communicate with others.

the MCAT is a great way to not only improve one's reading comprehension skills but to also develop their critical thinking and basic science-reasoning skills. i have yet to know of another test that combines the two as creatively as the MCAT.

i do not find myself mocking those who take the MCAT because whether they do well at it or not, it is IMHO a privilege to actually sit for that test.

for those who have read my other posts, i'd like to say that medicine is great. the MCAT is also great. i criticize quite often the medical profession itself and the way it is practiced but not the MCAT.

...thanks howui3....

by the way, beleive it or not, i only discovered recently (in the past few months) that guys have created a new meaning for the word gay (gay=annoying) and i do think it is wrong, not because i am a gay chauvinist or a raving hippie but bacause of the history of the term. anyways, not arguing here but allow me to remind every guy on this forum that it was homosexual men and women who chose to apply the term gay on themselves as an alternative to other colloquial, yet belittling, terms like queer, f---g...etc. this was done for the sole purpose of imrproving image and acceptability in the maistream. after all the struggle that gay people have gone through, now straight men seem to have come up with a new way to show resistance to tolerant american culture (hey gays, hey academics! you keep teaching us in our schools and colleges that gay is ok and that we cannot use f---g anymore but guess what? we still disagree with you and we think gay is not ok, and thus we will use the very word gay to describe anything that is annoying to us).....it's some kinda counter-culture....gay people coined the term gay to imrpove their image and straight men seek to reduce the term's usefullness to gays by transforming its meaning to annoying, as opposed to happy.
