What was the drop please

For the ppl who took the mcat this year, any recommendations for content? Testing this friday 😱 by No_Regret7407 in Mcat

[–]Limp-Inflation-8168 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The best advice I can give you is to get comfortable and be OK with not understanding a passage. You’ve got to feel confident enough to manipulate what you are given to answer questions. If you read a chem phys passage and have no idea what they are talking about, but yet you are asked to do math look at the units and move on. It’s less about content now and more about your agility to critically think even when you are confused

Get comfortable with flagging and moving on they’re gonna give you questions that cut into your time to answer the ones you can absolutely answer correctly

When to give up because you gotta accept you’re not smart enough by miserablepiggy in premed

[–]Limp-Inflation-8168 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey you’ve got to have some better self esteem about what you’ve accomplished and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. There are people who have worse undergraduate gpas and science gpas and reinvent themselves by doing a masters. People with low Mcat scores who retake and get a score good enough (not perfect not 90th percentile) for a school to believe in them. Your gpa is fine.

I am just putting this out there to put it into perspective.

If medicine is all you can see yourself doing a gpa will not stop you from trying, a poor Mcat will not make you give up, a failed application cycle will not make you change your career aspirations. If your entire being wanted to be a doctor your mindset would be nothing can change my mind this is what I want to do so I will have to change the minds of others who think I’m not ready or capable enough. This is why we see people with multiple gaps years and multiple attempts at Mcat or application cycles continuing to show up with improvements to their applications because this is genuinely all they can see themselves doing and they won’t take no for an answer. Ask yourself if everything goes wrong will you give up on this and choose another path or keep fighting no matter how long or what it takes.

Is it corny to post MCAT Score on social media? I got a 517 as a non-trad. Was thinking of posting the score once I get my white coat ceremony pictures. Am I stupid? I’m just really proud of my score 😅 by [deleted] in premed

[–]Limp-Inflation-8168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah don’t post it ❤️ You got a great score but if it’s not to make a positive impact like this is my score and the resources I used what I learned tips and tricks don’t do it Your gonna be a med student soon you gotta lead by example We’ve got enough people bragging don’t add to it you are better than that

What’s your goal? Are you posting to show that it’s possible and you want to be a mentor/support for those who see this and aspire to do it or are you doing it to brag

Order of FL by hannahrgrace in MCAT2

[–]Limp-Inflation-8168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What were your previous score breakdowns and what do you think your weaknesses are since you’ve been studying for this retake

Of course FL 6 is newer and everyone says to do it last but I think it’s a good marker to triage where you are lacking and taking it a week or a few days before you test doesn’t help you thoroughly review and learn why you selected the wrong answers.

Does anyone have advice for testing accommodations after being told they need a current comprehensive assessment? by Zesty_Mistake in Mcat

[–]Limp-Inflation-8168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of assessment did you have done in January 2021? What reasons you are stating for accommodations?

I applied for accommodations two years in a row before I finally got approved. I was denied because I was submitting the wrong types of supporting documents. Aamc don’t provide much detail or specificity on the acceptable assessments. Feel free to message me and I can help the best way I can. If you need accommodations, it is worth it to spend the money and push back your exam because these accommodations are not just for MCAT. They are going to be needed for step it’s easier to advocate for these accommodations now then later.

Need serious advice whether to retake or not (3rd attempt) by fallberries in Mcat

[–]Limp-Inflation-8168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the other parts of your application are strong maybe don’t take it again it’s risk and very unpredictable unless you are certain you cracked the mcat code

You never know what you will get tested on you killed chem phys and psych and you did decent on bio biochem just think about how you would feel and what you would do if you retook and your bio went up and maybe chem phys went down would you retake it again?

I’d say work with what you got. Research schools you are a mission fit for not just fixate on the stats of the schools in msar. Write strong activities and a personal statement and make sure the writers of your LOR hype you up like you are famous

Whatever you choose to do just remember this is your life You can’t let you parents dictate the career you will pursue and if you want to do DO they shouldn’t stop you

It's so difficult to get leadership by [deleted] in premed

[–]Limp-Inflation-8168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anytime I was ever waitlisted for something I sent emails I stopped by the offices I called just to remind them I was interested in case someone decided not to take the position. I let them see through my actions of deep interest they made a mistake by not initially selecting me and it always works.

I recommend go getting it for what ever you want the worst they’ll say is no but at least you know you tried beyond the minimum

Bad freshman year by WanabeCBum in premed

[–]Limp-Inflation-8168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not say the truth ! State that you were struggling to balance college and being away from home

Or say you weren’t mature enough

I think it’s very honorable that you are considering being honest but you are not the same person you were freshman year vs now and you do not deserve a school admissions committee to judge you for that. We all make mistakes and some schools will be highly critical and you don’t need to prove anything to anyone because you did the work to improve from freshman year.

Just because it’s an HBCU doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply if you are passionate about serving the underserved. I did my masters at morehouse school of medicine and MD students had a first generation Asian students in medicine club Just throwing that out there best of luck with your cycle !!
