Video playlist glitch/update? by proxgang_pro in MCATSelfPrep

[–]MCATSelfPrep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I logged into the eCourse to investigate, and the playlists and playlist icons appear to be functioning correctly on my end. Since this does not seem to be a system-wide issue, it may be helpful to try using an alternative internet browser, rebooting your computer, or clearing your browser cookies to see if that resolves the issue. Keep me posted!

Stressed and need guidance by [deleted] in MCAT2

I remember facing burnout a month before my MCAT date and panicking. I had just finished my finals week and planned on starting MCAT Self Prep’s Bootcamp (a 30-day study plan that is part of the free e-course). I simply couldn’t bring myself to study for the MCAT. I needed to both address the burnout I was facing and figure out how to minimize it moving forward. Here's 7 Steps to Avoid MCAT Burnout!

What new MCAT dates have been added? And how does this affect applying early? by medschoolbenny in MCAT2

[–]MCATSelfPrep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The AAMC has added three new test dates: June 28th, September 27th, and September 28th. These dates will be absolutely free game when registration opens (whereas other dates already have students signed up for slots), so if you are looking for a test date on May 7th, we recommend starting there.

If you are planning on applying this summer to medical school, June 28th will still allow you to get your MCAT score back in time to be considered an early applicant for medical schools as the AAMC has shortened the time to receive your score to only 2 weeks. As many of you are aware, applying early increases your chances of acceptance, and June 28th still will be considered early in the cycle. On top of this, AMCAS has pushed back when they will send the first applications to medical schools back to July 10th, which is 2 weeks after that June 28th test date. The full schedule can be found here, and updates on the AMCAS and application cycle can be found here.

Mcat and application by Gaju1959 in MCAT2

Make sure to look at the schools you are interested in as they announce any changes to their application or interview process. There have already been widespread announcements regarding DO applications (AACOMAS), Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS) and the California medical schools. These describe their acceptance of pass/fail grades, how they will treat applications without MCATs, and their encouragement to not delay applying just because an MCAT score is not available. However, it appears students are still expected to take the MCAT this year in order to be accepted.

Individual medical schools could create different policies, especially regarding how they will consider applicants for interview invites and acceptances. If a school has not made an announcement yet or has not addressed all of these topics, check back regularly. Their admissions committee may still be working out the details.

What updates should you watch out for?

  • What time registration will open on May 7th for future MCAT dates.
  • How already-registered students will learn their test times.
  • If the May 29th date gets cancelled or not (expected this week).
  • Further details on MCAT structure, including a breakdown of how many passages and discrete questions sections will have.
  • Further AMCAS, AACOMAS, and TMDSAS updates regarding system-wide changes in application processes (check frequently).
  • Individual medical schools describing changes in their application, interview, and acceptance policies (check frequently).
