Hello everyone,
I am currently approaching my senior year in college with plans to take the MCAT in february /march of 2017. I am pretty organized and good at making schedules, but my problem is my I just cant start studying. This summer I did take a summer class and it ended on june 30th. The class was pretty hectic so I gave myself two weeks off of not having to study, read, or do anything related to school. My two weeks ended 4 days ago.... . Plus I'm using this summer to work and create a "secondary" savings account for all the expenses that come with applying to 25+ schools (secondary's, hotels, flight costs, etc.).
Did/ Is anyone having this problem?
I only signed up for 15 credits this fall ( where 3 credits is an internship and 3 credits is TA, 3 credits of an elective, and 2 upper level science classes 3 credits each). I think this is a light load and will allow me time to study for the mcat and my classes. I want to take the MCAT by early February so I can retake it ( If need be) in late May so I can apply for the 2017 cycle, for the class of 2018.
Will a prep class help? I think they are MOSTLY a waste of money, just because at least for TPR classes, they spend most of their time on content review. But while going over content review they give you tips which is what I would find most helpful. I've taken all of the prerequisites for med school, and I have taken every class on the MCAT EXCEPT psychology, which Ill take this fall- my elective. So content review is not what I am looking for in a class. But what other value do you see in them?
anyway I feel this is too long lol. does anyone have any suggestions to encourage my motivation??! I've worked to hard on all my accomplishments to not complete my goal!
