Should I just give up!!!
There is no hope for me!!!!
P/V/B ==> 7/6/6 (19) ... I have no idea why I got a 6 in BS ... I've NEVER scored below an 8 in BS & my average was ~9 .. no clue what happened ... there is no hope for me to be a doctor .. I'm 100% sure I will be a great neurosurgeon that will make a difference in medicine, yet, I will never be given the opportunity because ...

Comments: I guess I can't feel too sad or happy about the score. I thought I did better though. That verballlllll though. ugh. Honestly thinking of retaking since later AAMCs were higher and wanting to go to a CA school. Thoughts?

I remember that question. This brings back those memories. dang it... By the way, you might want to edit your post because that was too specific of the test material.
Three things mate.
1. Dont give up.. a 19 can be improved more easily than you think
2. The MCAT isnt a trivial test, it tests important thinking skills that med schools want in their students
3. How would you know youd make a good neurosurgeon? your 10+years away from being one..
Just dont give up and keep trying
Just signed for June 21 ... I'm too old I can't wait for next cycle (just turned 26 last week)! .. If I don't do well ,, Ireland or Poland will be my destination .. I've already applied to Medical University of Warsaw (no MCAT is required) ... waiting if I get into European schools, I will definitely go there & come back to the U.S. for residency ... I know people who got into residency programs coming from Saudi Arabian schools, so coming from European schools is not going to destroy my residency chances ... plus as an international .. chances for residency is HIGHER than medical schools! the only thing that worries me is that transferring my scholarship to Europe instead of the U.S.! if I can't do that, then I'm stuck hereDon't give up!

Really disappointed with the 6 in verbal but happy with the PS score. Most definitely retaking since 6 is so low Anyone have any tips on how to improve VR? Also would it be too late for this cycle to retake sometime late June/early July?
Thanks.
Do you think you'll be ready by June 21st? The last thing you want to do is waste another $200 ! Please don't get upset by reading this, but I think you're lacking content knowledge and it's wise to study hardcore for at least -1-2 months to improve your score otherwise you'll get a score around what you have now! Princeton review books are awesome for content review!Just signed for June 21 ... I'm too old I can't wait for next cycle (just turned 26 last week)! ..

A big congrats to everyone who got the scores they wanted.
Test Date: 5/8/14
AM Average: took 3...
not much better than my actual score...
Actual Score: ugh....17....
Comments: I hoped I'd be at least high 20's. This is an embarrassment....I made a 3 on Bio!!! Wtf?!? And Bio is my strongest area!!! Two days after the exam, I scheduled a retake for a July 24. I started studying from scratch about two weeks ago. Now, I'm thinking I'd be better off to postpone the retake for August or September, and apply next summer. With work, taking on a research internship August to September and 8 hours grad school this fall, I'm afraid of creating a plan that will once again set me up for failure. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

But do you really want to move to another country for medical school? Have faith in yourself, it's not that hard to improve your 19! It's not the end of the world and btw 26 is not that old, people are getting Into med school I their thirties! I suggest you find a well paying job for this coming year so you can support yourself and apply next year!
All these high 30's make me feel like an idiot...

Hahaha thats funny! mcat twins lol. I was pretty confident about the verbal actually... the hardest part was ignoring how ****ty i felt about ps. I guess for me how i felt was pretty accurate haha. are you planning on retaking? I'm applying next round so I have time luckily.Bahaha. We have the exact same score. Funny thing is, I thought VR was a little tough. Wish I could have made a 10 on that beastly PS, but OH WELL!!! ON TO DRINKS!

Comments: This is notable for me because I am 35 years old and graduated college in 2003. I took the MCAT in 2002 and scored a 29. I'm still crying.
^Which is really the huge hurdle of getting through med school and residency I assume.What also helped me, especially at this stage of my life, was to accept that the MCAT is a test of how hard you are willing to try. No, you don't have to be able to launch a stupid projectile off a stupid cliff or assume that g=10 m/s^2 to get through med school. You just have to sacrifice every bit of your life until you've suceeded.

Comments: Sigh...back to the books. Gotta work way hard on my verbal now. Genuinely surprised the PS came back that score though. I'm pretty down though...
I got that same exact score. =\ When are you planning on re-taking?
Same. Good luck! Is English a second language for you?Looking at the dates now, trying to see when would give adequate time to improve on verbal and go thru all the science again. Probably end of July/beginning of August.
Same. Good luck! Is English a second language for you?
Lol because it is a second language for me that's why I struggle so much with verbal so I was just wondering hahaNo...lol. What makes you say that?
You are not the only one ... I feel ******ed as all of them took the same exact test I took!
But whatever ... just made myself a cup of tea & eating chocolate!
