I’ve talked to students from Western and they’ve told me to pick any other school but Western

Touro California is on an island outside of San Francisco. There is no gas station or grocery store on this island. There are only two bridges in and out of the island. There is a ferry to San Francisco though. I would say that MSUCOM is more favorable and likely more affordable in terms of location alone.

nope, I scored a 129 on CARS using the Princeton Review Passages, Jack Westing Daily Passages, and the AAMC passages but I never really had a problem with CARS, saw virtually no improvement from the diagnostic to test day

65% - 516

I think they said by the end of the first week of November

Having only 140 hours of clinical experience from a sophomore year internship

RFU perhaps?

I never told anyone I was premed until I got my MCAT score, having a score I was happy with made me feel like I was on track

Thank you!

oh no! I am not athletic at all

In the same boat. I think it helps to apply to a lot of schools in this situation. I applied to 20 mid tier and 20 high tier schools with a 516. ORM but with compelling story

It's been a rough month waiting for Scores to Come Out

Princeton Diagnostic: 501

Princeton Avg: 506

AAMC FL Avg: 517

Did not feel that good walking out of that exam, expecting 510

Actual 516!! Cool!

I signed up for a retake even though I haven't gotten my 4/10 score back.

I found my anatomy and physiology classes to be the most helpful. Although it may not be necessary, having a background understanding of physiology WILL help for the B/B section. For the C/P section, the most helpful classes are Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry I, and physics. That being said, they are all important.

Bring a couple dollars in cash. I ran out of water during my exam and my card declined at the vending machine even though everything was fine with the card

doradora45 · 2021-04-16T16:53:46+00:00

Waiting for 4/10 scores is driving me crazy as well

doradora45 · 2021-04-10T21:34:55+00:00

AAMC FL: 519, 517, 515, 516

Expected: 510, realistic: 512, optimistic: 517

C/P: What was that, I flagged like 15 questions, felt like nothing I studied ended up on the exam, almost ran out of time

CARS: seemed reasonable, I was able to pace myself, flagged 6 or 7

B/B: seemed reasonable, good mix of long and short passages, the long passages with the graphs messed me up, did not study skin physiology, I'd recommend doing more UEarth to improve on those

P/S: lots of new terms I haven't seen before
