Hello NRE, I hope you did better on the MCAT. I would like to know how you studied for the MCAT. Did you go back to school to take the science courses? (You can read my post to learn a little about me). I am soon to be 37, and really want to give medical school a shot. I have always wanted to do this.

Hello, I would appreciate some advice on studying for the MCAT and eventually applying to Med school. I was an international student from Africa to the US. Studied Nursing because it was more affordable; as an international student, one has to pay tuition and fees from personal savings , so applying to Med could only be a dream. l Moved to Canada after obtaining my Canadian PR. Nursing is my second degree. I have a BSc. in Biochemistry from my country. I currently work as an RN in Long Term Care. I have always wanted to study medicine but have had to overcome many roadblocks. I have thought of the NP, MPH+++ route but I know I won’t be fulfilled doing something other than Med. I want to try applying to medical school next year but have to write the MCAT. My Bio Chem degree was in 2002, Nursing degree 2011. It’s been many years since I took the science courses. Can I get a decent MCAT score from taking one of those prep courses offered by eg. Kaplan, Princeton? If there is anyone out there who has been out of school for a long time and did Ok (fairly) on the MCAT , I really would appreciate knowing how. Thanks
