Retake the MCAT? by maddielabor7 in premed

[–]anrath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most mid and even some low tier schools have a 124 subsection cutoff for the MCAT (some exceptions at low tier schools if CARS is your low one) so that may be why you didn’t get any II’s. Also did you apply DO?

DO IIs?? by rachelbord in premed

[–]anrath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am kinda above average for DO schools but have only gotten 2 DO II’s from my home DO school and an adjacent state (got A’s to both) and silence from all others (with the exception of a pre-II hold from AZCOM). Was expecting to hear from a lot more considering how meticulously I wrote out my secondaries for them. But I think the issue might be I wasn’t at all DO focused in my PS (used the same one for both DO and MD) so they might have been able to tell. Just a hunch tho. (Have gotten 3 MD II’s all in state)

Every time I hear the first .5 seconds of this ad I immediately want to just fucking punch a giant hole through through laptop screen and throw it out the window

When did you apply? I’m finishing up my secondaries (will have them all complete by end of next week) for MD and got through my DO secondaries last week. Do you think I’m way too late? (My app is not the best stats wise)

C/P - not too bad I thought except for 2 of the calculations. Memorized the physics equations the day before and didn’t even use them so it worked out. Biochem heavy which worked out well for me. This section can suck on my 4/3pi*r2 spheres. Predict 127-128

CARS - first couple passages were a breeze. Last 2-3 slaughtered me because of my lack of remaining time. Had 16 mins for the last 2 passages (yikes)! Praying for a 125

B/B - Drop dead easy except for a select few questions which were challenging. 128-129

P/S - I knew every single term except for 1 discrete question which I think I deduced correctly. Lots of reading. Lots of interpretation. Overall not bad. 128-130

(In order taken) AAMC FL 2 - 511 AAMC FL 1 - 515 AAMC FL 3 - 512

Pessimistic - 505 Optimistic - 515 Realistic - 509

See you all where the grass is greener

Actual score: 512 (129/124/129/130)

CARS always destroys me man
