damn right!!! i thought P/S was so hard. my eyeballs almost came out my eyes, i got headaches from starring at that computer for so long so when psych section came i was just not there for it
right? P/S felt like a freaking journal, so much text and few figures
Can I send in my transcripts and have my entire application verified without submitting to any schools? Would preferably like to wait until I have my score.
No. You at least need to pick one school. I've seen people suggest using a far reach school for this purpose.
Didn't mention this, not sure if it changes anything, I'm only applying through TMDSAS and AACOMAS. Easy to pick some reaches here (I think I understand your point, chance of getting in already isn't fantastic so the idea of being a re-applicant isn't that big of a deal).
Don't quote me on this, but I think you're only considered a reapplicant if you applied to the same school.
If thats the case, i wouldnt mind applying to one school.
So they won't evaluate your classes vs your transcripts until you "submit" an application?
Like you said, the section banks and the scored test. your test is only 12 days away, so I would do the scored ASAP so you can review it and then brush up on any weak spots. Be prepared to have passages like the section bank. The questions likely won't be as hard, but the passages themselves will be similar.
Have you taken the unscored FL?
Did you request your transcript online? Im trying to do mine, do i have to attach the transcript form from my AMCAS application? Ugh i seem do lost in this process
Send the AMCAS transcript request form to your school/s. They will then forward the transcript to AMCAS. Whether or not your school would accept the form electronically I'm not sure.
If i did the rough approximate score conversion right (via reddit thread) those equate to:
I didn't think so. I thought they were about on par. A lot of people though the scored CARS was much harder, but I thought it was similar. I guess it depends on your strengths.
Keep in mind the response bias. People are far more likely to post about a better score than a worse score.
The 'learn Chinese' phrase on the back of my fortune cookie fortune tonight was 'doctor'... That's a good omen, right?
Not as high yield as I would have liked.. I spent 2 full days right before the test memorizing all the big pathways and the amino acids thinking that would all be very high yield. But I think in general, those things are thought to be high yield. Not necessarily the names and structures of every step, but the overall stuff.
My test was different than the scored. C/P was more calculation based and specific in terms of topics tested. Not a lot of biochem. CARS was CARS. B/B was biology heavy, not very many convoluted experimental passages. Not as much biochem as I expected. P/S was about as hard as the scored, maybe a bit harder. Saw some terms I didn't recognize. Kind of hard to compare the scored to my test since they were so different. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the clarification! I really shouldn't be trying to answer questions
Any of you guys finished your personal statement yet? I am still revising my personal statement and its been the 15th draft that I wrote
