whats the best tip you can give to retaining what you read to do well in tests

[Goku69]

OP pm me ideas for volunteering that don't involve collecting money from people

29 on MCAT after sophomore year is actually decent. But like others alluded to, if you plan on getting into a decent allopathic MD school, you should have at least a 35 and 3.8+ sGPA.

[Hercul3s]

Why does everyone act like Med school is the greatest thing in the world?

It depends what you're referring to... performing in class or on a standardized test like the MCAT. As far as classroom tests go, expose yourself to the material in as many ways as you can, Visually, Audibly and practically if you can.... Truly try to understand the material and apply it to a system in your mind so you can visualize it during the test or questions... Also before the test make sure to do practice questions or try to get your hands on some questions that teachers have asked in the past. This will help you Understand the level of depth they expect you to understand the topic. Also, Pneumonics.... Pnemonics for days....

You're wrong, and you need to stop spreading this false standard. You're turning young people away with amazing potential to be incredible doctors. And the US is in huge demand.

It's not a false standard. If you're applying to a competitive med school like Duke or anywhere else with high standard applicants, you need those kinds of scores to have decent chances of getting in. I'm not saying you can't get in on other merits, like playing D1 sports, publishing scientific papers, president of multiple clubs, etc. though, because many students do every cycle. So while 33+ MCAT scores aren't necessary, for a large % people applying, they are when getting into highly competitive MD schools.

But ofc, you need to have volunteering, shadowing, research, and great recommendations to have a good chance of getting into medical school. Just a high GPA and MCAT score isn't enough.

LMAO RIP med school chances. maybe osteopathic program

I got into med school with a worse gpa and 26q. In my defense I was a drug addict at the time but still.

In the previous posts I stated multiple times I was shooting for a medschool in Florida to be close to family. Florida med schools arent as competitive as the med schools you are referring to.

29 mcat, did you study for it? I'm saying this as an ms-1 bro, if you tried and 29 was the best you did, you're gonna have a baaaad time in med school.

Sophmore year.

Curious about this as well. With an MCAT score like that and your gpa there seems to be some low standards or grade inflation going on.

Id rather remain anonymous... Hope yall can understand

[HIITforGains]

mcat is purely based on freshman and sophmore level content. its best to write it then while the material is fresh anyways.

[DontWantBeTiny]

2.8 gpa = all straight As. you mericans are funny

[Habbadahut]

Sophmore year.

Assuming you obviously finished organic and the other prereqs by then, thats really not an excuse and you should have learned everything you needed to do well. There are non science majors who take the only the pre-reqs for the mcat/medical school and never take another science class and do great on the mcat.

[copiusGains]

Do they even lift?

perfect use of the phrase lol repped

Also any advice for a guy that sucks at math and chemistry but wants tobe a PA?

Dnt really have much time to turn it around and I only have like 10 community service hrs and the application process starts in January

[ProtonFart]

Lol @ trash HS gpa

[Nistrange]

How do you feel knowing that I haven't even graduated high school yet but I'm already automatically accepted into med school after my undergrad?

[DuckDuckDuck]

Lol if ur MCAT is under 30 you should just kill urself.

Seriously, the physics is high school, bio is glorified reading comprehension, and verbal is just a test to see if you can comprehend/think logically

So I assume this was you getting your foot in on your professors paper as a coauthor? Or did you literally write/publish the paper yourself (are you the primary author)?

I don't agree, I've learned a ton since then. Classes ive taken include - Biochem 1-2, Vertebrae development, immunology, biomedical physiology, genetics etc...

I would do the same lol. no worries.

Couldnt care less... Better keep above a 3.4 or youll get dropped from your 6yr program. Dont drink too much. Congrats brah

OP don't go to med school just go to PA school. They're pretty much the same as doctors and actually might be smarter since they know not to take on 7+ years of training and 200k+ of debt. At the end of the day, doctors are just glorified nurse practitioners.

I actually agree with you to a certain extent however my ultimate wish is to be a surgeon...

why pa, when nurse practioners are doctors(dnp), practice independently, and treat patients better than physicians do?
