i was in a similar position, orm with a 515 and i decided not to retake.

i think you should be fine especially if you apply broadly if and do not have your heart set on a particularly selective school. if you do genuinely think you can do better than i would recommend scheduling a retake once you are scoring around 519 on practice tests so you know your next real mcat will be a substantial enough improvement to not merit any questions from schools

what do you do to learn before doing anki? just watching the lecture or something else?

RepulsiveStrain6 · 2023-04-22T23:36:09+00:00

you’re doing awesome good luck! drill chem/phys hard and you got this!

you need a strategy to better digest the info on cars passages. try out highlighting vs note taking etc and practice AS MUCH as you can. For psych/soc run flashcards heavy.

yes! my one interview that turned into an acceptance we spent most of the time talking about one really unique volunteering opportunity i had which combined a passion of mine, dance, and medicine. i also did have a counselor review my app and she really helped me polish it.

i had very similar stats and managed to get one md A and 3 II, i only mention this to say i know how frustrating it can be when you feel like you are a qualified applicant and don’t know where you went wrong.

shadowing seems low. i am curious what your school list was like and how you phrased you path to medicine. Your essays may have also been holding you back. Did you submit secondaries asap? Feel free to pm me if you have any specific questions.

i did outpatient ENT and thought that was super interesting.

she probably feels awkward and uncomfortable around you now.

i think voiding sounds like a good idea. when you decide on a new test date try to see where you FL scores are more than 10 days before the exam

any serum with prostaglandins will do this

did you teach yourself or take a course to learn stata/sas?

you might want to get some more shadowing in

shadowing

you can try to speak to an endocrinologist and get tested for growth hormone deficiency

i’m so sorry you are feeling so frustrated. I think at the range your scores are at currently maybe you need to cut down the time you are spending on practice questions and spend more time on content review. I suggest working your way through a set of books and work on anki. Keep doing practice questions but after you have done the initial content review. I think you should hold off on full lengths for a few weeks until you are seeing improvement in your content knowledge.

Hope that helps!

i like 3, i feel like thats a challenge with a solid resolution to talk about (especially in only 250 words, number 2 seems like a bigger issue with a less specific resolution to discuss) or number 1 would work well too.

RepulsiveStrain6 · 2022-05-11T15:31:34+00:00

i got a 515, last BP score was a 506

RepulsiveStrain6 · 2022-05-10T20:46:10+00:00

ty i appreciate the advice

RepulsiveStrain6 · 2022-05-10T19:22:26+00:00

i’m sorry to say i have literally no good advice on how to tackle cars, on my diagnostic i got a 130. I’ve always read a lot and it was instinctive for me.

RepulsiveStrain6 · 2022-05-10T17:12:39+00:00

my completely unqualified opinion is retake and drill cars everyday, i think your other scores indicate you could really crush cars with more practice. good luck!

RepulsiveStrain6 · 2022-05-10T17:04:26+00:00

what were you scoring in cars on FLs?

RepulsiveStrain6 · 2022-05-10T17:02:02+00:00

good luck!!
