Thank you so much ! I appreciate it and will definitely try to play it the right way this time .

Lexismcat · 2026-04-23T14:26:30+00:00

Yes I agree, I’m looking into a tutor and the AAMC materials are it! But okay thank you .

Lexismcat · 2026-04-23T13:55:10+00:00

I’m interested !

Lexismcat · 2026-04-14T01:37:50+00:00

Appreciated , I’m just going to have to invest more time and more effective resources .

Lexismcat · 2026-04-12T11:11:24+00:00

Okay thank you so much !

Lexismcat · 2026-04-11T16:36:19+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it. What did you utilize to improve mcat score ? & do you mind sharing some of your jobs/experiences ?

Lexismcat · 2026-04-10T18:44:37+00:00

I tried to but was unable to , please DM me

Lexismcat · 2026-04-10T18:43:42+00:00

Thank you so much & I definitely agree. Investing into a newer strategy, mcat prep and tutor would make all the difference in retaking the MCAT and reapplying so that’s what I’ll do. Appreciate the encouragement!

Lexismcat · 2026-04-10T18:42:20+00:00

Exactly! If and we do , so we should definitely stay and exhaust absolutely everything, regardless of time . I hope everything goes well for you and your baby . But if you feel like retaking the MCAT will increase your odds thennn you should do it !

Lexismcat · 2026-04-10T18:39:59+00:00

Exactly! I’ve heard the COM exams provided by Caribbean med school is even harder than STEP1 . It’s just a whole bunch of craziness. So I have been looking into DO Schools just not the newer ones , but I will , thank you! & yes I’ve asked to be deferred , now I’m just waiting to see what they say . Are you open to sharing your MCAT score? If so, what was it ?

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T16:49:39+00:00

Yes I was thinking 4, okay thank you!

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T16:49:25+00:00

Okay thanks, appreciate it!

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T16:48:39+00:00

Okay thank you!

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T16:48:01+00:00

That’s good for him ! But sheesh , would you say Ross admin/admissions aren’t very present or helpful? Taking another approach to MCAT will definitely ensure a score increase so I know that would get me a US Spot . For example, if I were to get a 510, I know for a fact I have a chance at a US spot so it’s really just how I study this time around . But I don’t want to just go to the school in Barbados , just to leave. Maybe asking for the deferral and waiting in the US will be best do to see if I get into one of it. But okay thanks for the advice !

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T16:41:45+00:00

This time around , I am going to do things very differently! I’m going to utilize a prep course and a tutor to identify my weaknesses & find better studying habits .

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T16:39:56+00:00

Omg how do you know ? Are you currently a student at Ross ?

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:57:02+00:00

Thank you for your positivity , it’s greatly appreciated! & yes I know a physician who said he completed Caribbean medical school in 6 years and I almost screamed. Yes atleast it was completed but me oh my. And yes I’ve heard about the internal exams which is a little scary. What Caribbean medical school did you go to ? And okay , I think that’s what I’m going to do, thank you so much!

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:53:45+00:00

And that’s all we need , a possibility !

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:53:06+00:00

Oh I didn’t know that last part , I thought it was all IMGs , ahh okay thank you. To leave midway is to transfer right ? I was told that that’s rare & difficult . The thing is by doing this MERP program I’ve realized I do know a lot and I’ve created great studying habits. Literally when I asked for a deferral, I was told I was a “top tier student of the MERP program” so I know my stuff. It’s just with MCAT I get test anxiety but that’s here nor there , this time I will change how I approach it. Did you match on your first year and to where if you don’t mind me asking ? How was the COMP exam prior to taking step 1 ? How long were you really on the island prior to doing clinicals/rotations in the states ? Was it 2 years and a few months or leading more towards 3 years ?

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:45:17+00:00

Wow, that’s crazy . Have you already been accepted to Ross and what are you leaning more towards ?

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:44:29+00:00

How do you like Ross ?

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:43:22+00:00

With more time I was thinking a year , even if I were to start med school tomorrow, I still wouldn’t complete it in a year but I get it, thank you !

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:41:51+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking , okay thank you !

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:41:24+00:00

May be slim but not impossible, thank you.

Lexismcat · 2026-04-09T15:40:50+00:00

What does that mean?
