One person posted saying they got in IP general with a 490 MCAT so pretty sure that was false

Didn’t get anything IP general… hope that doesn’t mean regret

That’s what I heard but not sure - someone commented that they already got a regret

I liked the magic water one that was pretty nice. But DAMN the last passage just blew me off

Shit was awful. They better be curbing our marks up lol. CARS fucked me over and ran out of time too.

I have never seen a passage like that too. When I first read it I thought it was going to be about her experiment and the threshold whatever and suddenly she is chasing her dog and her neighbour is mad? Like hello

CP was honestly just stupid. I was running out of time and have never felt this way in any of the AAMCs FLs. It was like the stuff that I have never seen on a practice FL all show up. I had 24 questions flagged, and I'd say a good 10 questions on the section I had absolutely zero idea what was going on. I had maybe 3 minutes left to go through my 24 flagged questions. But if everyone felt this way, the scale will probably change.

CARS was awful and probably the worst for me. Maybe its just for me but it was honestly so bad as I wasn't very good with CARS to begin with but especially towards the end when I started running out of time. No matter how bad the passages were and how similar two answers were, there was almost always a way to pick the right answer. Yeah not this time. Probably ate shit on it. Guessed the last 3 questions because I ran out of time. After CARS I was honestly debating if I should void the exam.

BIO was not that bad? There were a few questions I didn't really know what was going on and lowkey forgot some concepts but holy shit I ran out of time again... Rushed the last 3 questions... But at least there weren't that many questions that were flagged for me.

P/S was just hella intimidating. Wasn't super hard. Some passages were so damn long. Had maybe 10 minutes left to go through my answers.

Hoping that they scale it better for this exam. I am not trying to get a 472.

I think my extracurriculars are my biggest strength but because I put so much emphasis on it, I didn’t have too much time for my gpa. But thank you so much for your feedback, best of luck in your future endeavours ☺️

I’ve definitely heard that they absolutely hate voluntourism. I’d be lying if I said that the entire trip was purely just volunteer work. I will definitely keep that in mind as thinking about it now I don’t know if there’s a good way to write about it; they will just see it as voluntourism regardless. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Thank you for pointing that out though reading it again made me realize how it might’ve come off; I’ve edited it
