Medical School : MCAT (AFTERMATH)
Has anyone written the MCAT this summer?
I realize that there are some people interested in medical school, and were preparing for the MCAT. Was wondering if you had gotten your scores back, or were preparing your applications?
Did anyone have trouble with verbal reasoning, or the written section (writing sample)?
Do not discuss actual questions, or paraphrases of actual questions (non-disclosure agreement)
Did anyone do the MCAT and then voided it at the end?

im indian, and i dont think you guys should take yourselves too seriously..at my medical school at least 70% of the student body was either indian or pakistani so its a natural assumption that someone asking about the MCAT is indian
also, the VR section is very important, nobody cares about your science background, your going to be re-taught anything worth knowing

A few pointers....
Verbal is the most important section. Med school is all about reading and retaining massive amounts of info as quickly as possible.
You need around a 31 MCAT and a 3.7 GPA to be competitive, plus the research, leadership, volunteering, etc bull****.
If you haven't already applied this year, don't bother. You need to apply as early as possible, i.e. June. Admissions are rolling.

June huh? Oops. I thought the application was due for October 1 for Ontario, and later for the other schools in Canada.

It's never easily done to get over 40, but if you had a 38S, that would get you interviewed at more than half the schools you applied, provided you had a decent GPA.

Yeah, rolling admissions means the earlier you apply the better, but that is for American schools and not Canadian schools.

No, you likely won't, you would need at least a 3.6, and probably a 32Q.
The admissions people don't care so much about your program. Since there are still probably some of your classmates in the same exact program who have a 3.99 and a 34R, and are applying to med school (serious).
And seriously, you may not even pull off a 3.00 in a good engineering program, not to offend you, but that is how the grades are in engineering.

Those courses aren't difficult. You just have to do your homework.
