I guess the primary purpose of this post is to vent and possibly receive some insight. I prepared for my MCAT ,in January, using the Kaplan self paced study (around 3 months of 3-4 hours per day). During the last month I elected to do 2 full length Kaplan tests and scored 503 and 505. After...

Hello everyone! I have began serious MCAT prep and plan to take the exam as soon as I feel confident. I am having lots of trouble on the Psych/Sociology portion. I took these classes but although I found them easy, I never really retained the information Anyone know a good book for thorough...

Hi all, I'm an undergraduate pre-med student. I'm considering pushing my MCAT date to July 20 (scores release August 20). I will have my AMCAS application completed (except MCAT score) by early June and will submit it for the verification process since it takes 6-8 weeks. I will choose one...

Need some advice as to when to take the MCAT. I am currently in my Junior year and took the MCAT in January 2019, but decided to void. I am planning on applying this cycle for 2020 matriculation and my aim is for DO, but will still be applying to MD schools. When do you think is the latest I can...

I have all the books for the princeton review course, for all subjects. How should I create my study plan for through out the semester. I have 3 months of the semester plus 1 month in the summer. How should I split up the subjects, etc.

There's a pleuthora of information on this subforum. I've been going through a bunch of the study guides to familiarize myself with the MCAT study materials. Most of the them require the use of a bunch of different study sets at once. For example, MCAT jelly's schedule says to read Kaplan, go...

Does it look weird to do this? What if the professor knows you and you worked with him on projects?

I ordered Princeton Reviews "3rd edition" but the Bio and CARS books are "2nd edition" WTF!! What does that mean?! Did Amazon mess up?! Do I need to return them to get the 3rd edition?? (I know it prob doesn't make a difference but I'd like to get what I Paid for)! please help TIA

I've been following the 100 Day MCAT study schedule (The 3 Month (100 Day) MCAT Study Schedule Guide: 2019 Edition • Student Doctor Network) and I'm about to take my first AAMC FL in a few days. I was thinking though, shouldn't I wait until I'm done doing the final 1/3 of BR passages for all 10...

Hello Everyone, This is my first time posting in SDN forums after many years of browsing. Specifically I am posting in regards to receiving general advice on my current situation and the best route for me to apply to Medical School. Background I received my Undergrad degree in Biology in 2016...

does anyone know if there are any Uworld extensions still available for MCAT?

Hi all! I haven't taken the MCAT yet (taking it april 5) and don't have a great gauge on my score yet. Looking to see what kind of MCAT score might make me competitive at mid- to high-tier schools like northwestern, cornell, mt sinai, BU, SUNY downstate, loyola stritch, UIC, rush. Also seeking...

Hey all! Just graduated ended with a 3.36 GPA with a major in Biology. Took the mcat rushed through it scored a 487. Been considering applying for JHU HSI because I'll be granted a masters despite it being a post-bacc and also get MCAT help but also been on the fence with just retaking the MCAT...

i was wondering when figuring out the value of E° cell which equation do i use? 1. cathode - anode or 2. cathode + anode the OAT Kaplan book is gave the second equation but the Kaplan MCAT book is giving me the first equation

Hello SDN, I'm currently looking at how my GPA would be calculated after each year... I know AMCAS does a year by year GPA but does that go by credits? I'm curious because I was calculating my BCPM GPA freshmen year I did really well and got a 3.8-3.9ish sophomore year I had a grandparent...

I’ve always done well in general chemistry. I am breezing through the KAPLAN General Chemistry review book. I borrowed a friend’s but don’t know if I should purchase the book set? Leaning towards Kaplan or Princeton but KAPLAN seems too easy for me or am I good on content review for general...

I've started and stopped multiple attempts at a MCAT study schedule and am having a hard time figuring out what will be best for me. I'm a non-trad who has been out of school for quite some time to take care of a disabled family member. I tried Kaplan's online course and had trouble keeping up...

A question to you all, when applying to medical school with research under your belt, what is the most common thing for an applicant to have? Naturally I assume it is at least a semester's worth of commitment, however, what is suppose to come out of that commitment? I believe publications are...

so my school has a premed committee but I didn’t know that it was absolutely mandatory I get a letter from them? Does it still count for nontrad students? I graduate in a year... and will be taking a gap year so would I still need one? What if I’m refused a committee letter? Really freaking...

I'm sure this question gets asked a lot, but i'm getting pretty frustrated with the CARS section and need some guidance. On almost all the full lengths I've taken (AAMC, PR, etc.) I've consistently been getting 123 on the CARS section. I've tried some techniques from youtubers, and princeton...

I'm taking 12 credits at my four year institution, but my school won't let me take some 2000 level courses that I want to take (science courses) So, I'm taking them at a local CC. I can't take the upper division electives of these courses at my four year institution, and need this so I don't...

I have room for one elective in my schedule. I'm debating between taking a sociology class to help with the MCAT or an anthropology class that counts towards my distribution requirements. Is anthropology close enough to sociology for the MCAT? Which would you recommend?

I have posted something like this before. Thank you to everyone who commented on that, I just think I need some more direction and specifics. I graduated at a Canadian University with a 2.42 cGPA. I failed physics as well. I graduated with a Human Biology and Psychology Major. Now currently...

Just want some opinions on whether this is a good idea. I’m planning on taking the MCAT on May 24th of this year, however I’m trying to study while still in school. I’m budgeting probably only 6 ish hrs a week until mid March, when my course load will get significantly lighter- I can probably...

I was supposed to take my MCAT this Friday (1/18) but now I have decided against it. I scored 513 (128/127/129/129) on FL1, 515 (128/129/130/128) on Sample, 514 (129/128/130/127) on FL2 and 510 (128/127/128/127) on FL3. I'm not quite sure what happened with the 3rd full length, since the others...

Hi all! I am tutoring a student online who won't be taking the MCAT until 1 - 2 years. The student is a current senior in high school and wants to start preparing for the MCAT. I am wondering if anyone had suggestions on lesson plans I can do for this student. We are meeting about 2-3 times...

Ordering a full box set. Shelling out over $100.00 Ideally would only have to buy one. Leaning towards Princeton but... TIA

I just took my first MCAT diagnostic over Christmas break and got a 504. I start seriously prepping in April to take the MCAT end of July. My original goal was 518. Realistically, is that a viable goal? I reviewed my test and my biggest weaknesses were Biochem-related questions (I'm taking...

Wondering which class to take between these two. Upper division Neuro course (good professor, however only two exams make up the grade. Not the best test taker, but an easy course) Biochem II (good professor, four exams (less weight on each exam), but would prob need a bit more study time...

Hey all, thanks in advance! My Uni has an excess hours limit (132) and I have taken 110 of those already (Bio major, Chem minor, took some random international relations/French classes). I have 17 credits left to complete my major which sets me up to graduate this summer if I take a full...

Hey guys, I'm planning on registering for the MCAT soon but want to be 100% sure that I'm scheduling myself appropriately. My plan is to apply as soon as AMCAS opens up, so I would ideally want my scores before June 1st. The latest MCAT date that would allow me to do this would be April 13th...

edit

Hi all! I'm looking to apply to medical school in the 2019 cycle. I was initially looking at taking the MCAT June 15 or June 28, but my scores would become available in mid- to late July, and based on what I've been reading, that's late. I know that I can submit my primary application without an...
