hopefulymedstudent11 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hello, I am a fourth year undergraduate student thinking of applying to medical school. So i switched my undergrad major halfway through because I didn't like my first major and as a result really was not doing well. My first undergrad for a couple of years was really bad but after switching my last three years have gotten me a gpa of 3.8x at a different university. However, I do come from a non-science background and I am really confused whether I should even bother with the mcat. I am thinking of enrolling in a prep course and dedicating a good year of my life to just the MCAT. Also, the only University that would accept me with my particular gpa scenario is Queen's. Western requires a full course load yet I have only taken 4 courses per semester so I don't meet their cutoff. Let me know what you guys think!

IMislove Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 We have people in every year who come from non-science backgrounds, so that’s no matter. Just a matter of getting the content down and the critical thinking practice for the passages/CARS. Do what you think will work best for you. I did self study for two different MCATs while working full time, others did a prep course. Prep course may be easier for you if you don’t have the background, just $$$ and time. Best of luck.
