I failed /: I need advice. Please. I’m soo lost.
Hi! I BOMBED my mcat. (128BB/CP/PS, 119 CARs) Didn’t even know it was humanly possible to score so low on CARs (my practice scores were a 124-126). Thinking of retaking in September (9/11).
Anyways, is the Kaplan course worth it? Or any advice on if I should take a course? I’ve used up all the AAMC materials and finished UGlobe so I feel like I’m out of practice materials. I guess I could redo Uglobe and AAMC. Kaplan has 21 FL and 3000 Qbanks. Are they good? Are they just as good as UGlobes?
Any advice on how to study while working full time? I previously took 8 weeks off to study (and look where that got me 😒). I can’t take time off again and this job has amazing opportunities application wise. Like I get publications (some first author publications), I have 1:1 clinical visits with patients, 1:1 meetings with physicians that support me and constantly include me on anything that’ll help my application, countless of shadowing, a billion hours of wet lab research and clinical hours (an exaggeration but I really mean A LOT). Like I can’t stress how beneficial/perfect this job is for med school. It’s just very time consuming (8am-6pm — including the commute time).
What do I do? Please help. I’m completely lost. I don’t want to risk applying this cycle because I think a 119 in a section is a huge red flag. I don’t feel confident that I’ll get in.
Ps to anyone that I’ve given study advice to, I’m very very sorry… take whatever I said with a heavy grain of salt cause CLEARLY I can’t even read English. Im sorry.
