All it takes is to have a sibling or family member on the admissions committee. They tell you exactly what you need to do beyond the vague instructions given by the schools themselves. This is why you see patterns in each program of people getting in. Often it’s usually entire friend groups, rarely ppl picked out. I’m so sick and tired of lower SES students being at such a disadvantage in this process. Especially since schools love to advertise that they’re “progressive” but continue to enforce policies and continue practices that actively disadvantage underprivileged students.

Ik they’re gonna ask me this. I want to ask something that makes me stand out and come across as engaged but isn’t cringe or doesn’t seem like I’m being a tryhard.

As more and more skls move towards cutoffs for the MCAT w the exception of CARS for Mac and westerns unpredictability year to year, which MCAT deck would you guys recommend based on experience. A lot of the decks I’ve seen out there are recommended because they go into a lot of detail. However, given that most schools feature cutoffs, I’m not really looking to get a 528, just a sufficient score in each section that would make me competitive (with the exception of CARS of course where more is better).
