The new MCAT cutoffs are a little nuts, I'm sorry to those who missed it by one or two points. Looking forward to seeing the campus and the other interviewees!

sdj78we9jtf2o3mgfvj298j Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 can people who did this well on their MCAT scores please describe how you did so well, for the rest of us future premeds I didn't take a course or read the books for concepts I already knew. I jumped straight into passages for gchem and bio, and read the books for physics/ochem. I tackled each subject one at a time until the books were complete, and every day I ensured that I did 10 passages on the topic I was working on. I only read books for the first month of studying and did practice passages/tests for the other 3 months. I swapped resources with a friend once I finished what I had. I ended up completing all of Berkeley, TPR, Kaplan, and AAMC resources over the 4 months. For verbal I used EK101, TPR, and AAMC. Do some passages once in awhile and try to find a test-taking strategy that works for you. What worked for me was to read the first half of the passage, answer some questions, then finish reading and completing the rest of the questions. This might sound excessive but I only studied around 3-4 hours a day (I was working full-time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still_tryin88 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Invite: Yes - pretty stoked IP/OOP: IP (non-swomen) 2 yr GPA: 4.0 cGPA: somewhere around 3.7? MCAT: 11/12/11 My first 2 years of undergrad were pretty brutal GPA-wise. I upped my game in 3rd/4th, did a MSc, worked for a bit, went back and took some additional undergrad courses to up my GPA again, and here I am. PM if you're a person trying to battle back from a poor performance early on in your academic career - it can be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
