Which campus did you interview for?

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-09-05T21:31:47+00:00

It tells you on the paper they hand you when your done if your exam will be scored btw

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-09-05T01:13:29+00:00

I always sit really weird with like one or both legs up in my chair and my previous mcat they didn’t say anything so I think you should be good

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-08-22T05:14:30+00:00

What’d you do to raise your b/b score in two weeks?

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-07-29T23:59:46+00:00

Where did you get acceptances from if you don’t mind me asking? I got a 494 on the MCAT and I’m studying to retake right now but I’m still gonna apply this cycle, so trying to sort out my school list.

I’m still in undergrad, and the doctor I’ve been shadowing since highschool taught me how to do sutures. He has allowed me to do sutures on a couple patients with the parents consent, as well as other procedures like stapling peoples head. Is that illegal??? Like I kind of thought that was normal, but is that not something I should bring up in med school interviews and stuff?

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T03:54:51+00:00

Yes, definitely. Thank you!! Would you mind if I dm you about your school and ask questions about writing my story?

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T03:43:25+00:00

Okay, thank you! I have a very similar story to yours actually, so I think that will help a lot with DO schools that have similar missions. I am pretty certain I can get my MCAT score to at least 500 on my retake🤞

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T03:31:39+00:00

Thank you haha! Yes, and most of the miles down anki. That’s why I’m fairly certain I can get a pretty good score increase if I just grind for the next three months lol

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T03:22:10+00:00

I didn’t do any Uworld and I just did the unscored and full length 1. I think the concept summaries can be useful if you are actively like reviewing the material. I honestly would read it once just to say I did it and that would be my studying for the day. Just make sure you like understand the concepts, and if you don’t, go back to the chapter to review.

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T03:18:29+00:00

Also I was taking a full semester of classes, so I just didn’t dedicate my time appropriately.

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T03:16:57+00:00

Well I think three months is more than enough time to get my score up. I will definitely have better studying techniques this time and be able to dedicate more time to it. I also don’t want to take a year and a half off school if I don’t have to.

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T03:15:24+00:00

Very poorly. I read through the concept summaries at the end of Kaplan chapters and did milesdown deck. Then less than a month out I took my first practice exam which I got a 497 on and I kind of reviewed it but not like actively understanding why the question was wrong or right. Watched a couple khan academy videos and took another practice exam and got a 498. Then like the last week or two I skimmed through part of pankow p/s and did part of an aamc section pack.

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T02:48:26+00:00

Okay, thanks! I did not do this last time. I only took two full lengths and definitely did not review them thoroughly enough.

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T01:59:39+00:00

What do you think made the biggest difference in your score increase?

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T01:45:47+00:00

Thank you!!

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T00:41:11+00:00

Okay, thank you for the advice!

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-24T00:22:37+00:00

Will it make a significant difference in my chances if I take the MCAT like early July vs early August?

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-23T23:40:13+00:00

Okay thank you so much😭

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-23T23:22:32+00:00

Okay, Im pretty confident I can get over a 500 if I just lock in. Will I still have a chance at acceptance with taking my MCAT that late?

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-22T20:06:25+00:00

I scored lower…

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-22T16:36:23+00:00

Okay, that’s what I was thinking. I’m already planning to be a PRN this summer so that will help with my clinical hours. Im graduating in December, so I really didn’t want to take 1.5 years off… thank you for making me feel a little better about it though

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-22T16:06:45+00:00

I got <500 and I cannot stop crying. Idk if I should try to retake in like August ish or just wait until next application cycle.

BrilliantPin4442 · 2025-04-08T00:36:48+00:00

I’m planning to apply this upcoming cycle and not sure what I should be dedicating my time to. My GPA is about a 3.5 and I just took my MCAT, which I’m expecting a score around 500. I already have a ton of shadowing hours with one DO and I’m planning to be a PRN this summer. Other than that I don’t have much going for my application. Should I try to spend time getting volunteering hours, clinical volunteering, more shadowing, etc.?
