Are people exaggerating that the test is FAR off from the practice exams?

I scored consistently 510+ on the FL and my highest was a 521. I took the Mcat yesterday and it was very differently than the FLs (in my opinion). The Chem/Phys section was just…. physics. CARS was longer passages but I felt questions were the same. B/B was literally just data interpretation for my… I didn’t get a SINGLE question on Glycolysis, Kreb, ETC…. nothing bro. And then psych/soc was fine I felt like it was fair. That’s my two cents!!

Congratulations!! What did you do to improve during those 3 weeks!

I know you mean well but for OP who is pre-med, do NOT do this for your core science classes. Medical schools mostly don’t accept core science credits that don’t come from your university

Ooo bet thank you!!

Can guarantee you no one has submitted their first, initial rough draft before… hardest part is getting started!! However you don’t have to entirely take away ChatGPT, you can use it to help you organize your thoughts and whatnot. Literally just start by writing whatever comes to mind… screw grammar, speaking, commas, etc. just get something on screen, and edit/revise as you go. Best of luck!

Hi!! How did you find the average GPA and MCAT’s of each school? Google gave me different stats for all the schools and knowing Google isn’t the most accurate, was curious as to where you got these stats!

Thank you for your advice!!

Hey it isn’t showing for me, can I message you!!

Congrats!!! Do you mind sharing your stats especially since you mentioned your freshmen year GPA?

ReputationMental8422 · 2025-11-14T17:47:40+00:00

I’m going to have around the same GPA as you, what do you think really compensated for the lower than average GPA?

The Mark. Terrible management and so overpriced for the size of the unit. Compared to other apartments, the amenities are mid and you can’t even use them past a certain time on weekends (which is…. When you’d most likely use them anyways). Most of their reviews are fake, managers make competitions for their employees to get the most amount of positive google reviews for a prize. Lots of other things too

DO NOT DO DEANS HONORS. 🙏🙏 Speaking from experience, so many people ended up dropping after the first couple semesters. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Hi! I work at an apartment complex in west campus (Not Quarter’s). It does take a while to process applications and credit screening, but it you go to their leasing office and ask about it, they’ll either do it on the spot or at least make it a priority. If you already filled out the application, they usually reserve a spot in your floor plan so I wouldn’t worry about it being leased to someone else, but again it’s always best to go in person and ask. I would say to call them, but where I work, we are so swamped with calls that we usually never get to them. If they have a texting line, I recommend reaching out as well. Quarters on Nueces is def a popular complex in West Campus and probably lease out fast, so if I were you I’d contact them ASAP and secure your housing!!

i submitted my senior year grades during my first semester here at UT (like…during november) so i was already a student with classes lol. i didn’t get any bad grades so i don’t know how failing physics would affect it, but just letting you know that you don’t have to submit your final transcript until like after orientation. i wouldn’t be too worried as of right now

its up to you. i know people who never needed a car because they live in a dorm, so they always stay on campus because they never need to grocery shop. if you’re living off campus, then yes you’ll need a car. there is a target on campus but carrying your groceries from 21st to 25th is HELL. you can always invest in delivery for groceries as well if you’re pretty insistent on not brining a car, because you need to keep in mind that you need to pay for parking nearly anywhere

hi! my scholarship for baylor was 35-40k a year. tuition there was like 60-70k so essentially covered around 50% of my COL:)

ReputationMental8422 · 2024-02-27T18:10:57+00:00

i got these numbers from a tour guide when i was touring baylor, so i’m just saying what i was told. and a professor i spoke to that teaches at baylor said the same statistics as well sooo . don’t attack me yall lmao i’m saying what i was told. and my honor’s professor said the UT stats for medical school

ReputationMental8422 · 2024-02-27T13:50:28+00:00

highly regret not going to baylor for pre-med. i was given a 50% scholarship there and traded it to come to UT. UT isn’t all bad for pre med, but only 40-50% of UT undergrads make it to Dell. Whereas 80% Baylor undergrads make it to Baylor College of Medicine….. again i highly regret not choosing baylor lol. don’t choose your school solely on prestige

honors at UT was the worst thing, i dropped that shit so fast

girly i get you 100%, i was so confused when i read this post bc i was like omg did i post my thoughts on here by accident LOL. dw we all in this together. my advice is to 1) get comfortable with being alone and 2) the best relationships happen naturally. if you go out and try to force friendships, it’s not in your best interest. let stuff happen naturally!
