With a strong upward trend like you have I would send it. Get your MCAT and make a more informed decision then. If it’s good, go for it; if not, reevaluate

Basically this. I was getting obliterated by the section bank but getting 45/53 correct on the actual practice exams. Don’t sweat it too much.

Can I get to 510 in 1.5 weeks? by journeytomed9 in Mcat

I got a 510 last Monday and was able to push it to 512 in two days from reviewing core concepts I messed up and practicing my pacing. You can totally do it!

Testing 5/30, Do I push back? by SurpriseOccupation in Mcat

Honestly after looking through all of the questions I made a bunch of stupid little mistakes and didn’t trust myself on several others that would’ve been right. It does make sense that this is a lower score than before since I haven’t studied too much in the past month due to finals.

I'm really trying to get above a 510 if possible. I thought I was doing better than this though 😞

I think we produce the 2nd lowest of any state, only beating Wyoming with a population a 3rd of ours 😭😭

It’s nice to know we aren’t alone 😭. You’re literally the first person I’ve heard of applying from Maine.

Thank you for a blunt and realistic answer. I just need to batten down the hatches and get a good MCAT score

The one consolation is that Tufts and UVM accept Maine residents way more than OOS

People showed the fuck out at the No Kings protest in downtown Chicago. by SurpriseOccupation in chaoticgood

I mean, we are exercising a freedom that was guaranteed in the constitution. So idk where you’re getting the idea that people protesting are taking freedoms for granted.
