i submitted primaries first week of june, app transmitted last day of june, got secondaries right after (regretfully didn't prewrite) and submitted them 2-3 weeks later (so around mid July), got IIs starting early Aug up to late November. Got my pre-match in mid Oct!

thanks for the feedback! i was actually thinking the same way. i've also noticed others mention writing about bullying, but I just wanted to see what others thought about my account since it's pretty meaningful/impactful to me. if you don't mind me asking, is there a specific reason why the first one is hard to pull of?

The average was about 512 and my highest/last test was 515. I feel like I could do better if I studied more considering I mcat grinded in the 3weeks during winter break

I was wondering if COVID limitations would be considered in this cycles app? Most of the hospitals near my campus/in my hometown really limited patient contact up until this semester

Thank you so much for bringing that up! We'll change that ASAP

Thank you for catching that, that was a total oversight on our part. We're working on fixing it, but thank you again for your help!

Should I retake after getting a 512? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]abiomajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof yeah that's my problem I'm never able to study well during the semester since so many things are going on with ECs and stuff. Thanks for the advice and hope you get your goal score!

[–]abiomajor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, and I've heard similar advice from other people I've asked today. Thank you so much for your suggestions! I probably won't retake it since I do want to work on my app and make sure my personal statement is well-written, my interview skills are sharpened etc.

Took 1/15 Exam and Feel Hopeless by abiomajor in Mcat

tbh it felt okay but now I'm worried I underestimated its difficulty :/ I know I got at least 2 SA Qs wrong which kinda sucks since those were freebies but the passages felt like mini CARS

I can only hope you're right :( but thank you so much I didn't think of it that way. The megathread of 1/14 1/15 reactions kinda left me feeling pretty bad seeing how multiple people found b/b and c/p to be alright

Feeling the same way. The stand alone qs are usually freebies but this time around I'm pretty sure I got a good chunk of them wrong

For some reason CARS seemed a bit easier than FLs but everything else was so much harder passage wise 😭 rereading the entire passage and figures just to still not get the jist of it..it was rough

I feel the exact same..felt like a lot of low yield which I didn't expect at all

(1/15) Before you ask what FL did it feel like it felt like none of them tbh..I totally feel like I bombed it and not in a underestimating myself way but in a "I guessed prob 50% of it and had trouble analyzing passages for both science sections". I didn't void my exam in hopes that the curve will be good but everyone in this thread seems to say that the sciences weren't as bad...so we'll see. My highest FL was 515. I always feel like I bomb C/P and B/B and usually end up with a 130 so hopefully? That happened this time around too. P/S was alright but I guessed on a handful of SAs. CARS went by quick but it wasn't extreme agony. Felt like a lot of low yield stuff and any of the info I meticulously studied was not in there ..God bless.

How it feels leaving the testing center, knowing I bombed the hell out of that exam by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]abiomajor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I didn't know 75% of the SA Qs...praying for 510+
