  1. I got my MCAT score today and it turned out to be good, but I was worried that I failed and booked a rewrite for tomorrow (I booked it like a month ago after my first attempt). Obviously I don't want to write it and now I don't know what to do since I'm out of the bronze deadline. The MCAT essentials for 2019 state: If you do not attend an exam for which you are registered, neither your registration nor your absence will be reported to schools. However, it will count toward the maximum number of attempts that you are allowed within the testing year and over your lifetime. In addition, your registration fee will not be refunded. This policy also applies to examinees who are not admitted due to improper identification or other policy violations. Does this mean that if I don't show up the schools will only see my current score (the one I got today)? I'm really worried please I need help lol thank you!
  2. I was wondering how important it is to fill up all 32 slots on the ABS? The reason I'm asking is because I know OMSAS decreased the ABS from like 48 to 32 so I'm under the assumption that they expect every slot to be filled out. I have around 28-29 items that are meaningful to me and don't really want to put any high-school stuff on my application. Thanks!
  3. Hi guys! I am in my second year and was wondering if I could have some feedback please? According to OMSAS (I have done 5 courses each semester too): 1st year: 3.6 (I had a lot of serious family problems which affected me) 2nd year: 4.0 ECs (so far): -Hospital volunteering (long term, did 1 hospital for 2 years now and another for a while now) -Psychology volutneer research assistant (6 months) -Clinical neurosciences laboratory research assistant (1+ year now) -Social neuroscience laboratory assistant (1+ year now) -Doctor shadowing (8+ months now) -Volunteer research assistant with a UofT medical professor (6+ months now) -Exec on a medical club at my school, and just general member of my school's powerlifting team and cultural club -Chemistry and organic chemistry video instructor (i made videos with the professors for incoming students) (6 months) -Deans list at university (2 years now) Please any feedback would help! I do understand my GPA sucks because my first year was bad due to family issues which I hope I can do an academic explanations for :/ but it's improving!
