  • Brief Profile: Will be starting a master in medical sciences this Fall, while I am applying. Hopefully, I can shed some light on the process for others in the future.

    1st MCAT: July 2014. (Old) Studied with Princeton crash-course. It was awesome, I was not! Took MCAT and got a 27.
    BS: 10, PS: 9, V: 8. I was shocked! Who knew practicing in the 30s range (while pausing and looking up answers) would not be reflected on the actual exam?! *slaps hand*

    I retook the MCAT January 28, 2017.Working full-time and studying for 2.5 months. Practiced hitting 510 range. Got sick the whole week leading up to MCAT...506. Somewhat ambivalent about my scores....(B/B was 91 percentile..guess it was a hard section!! However, still debating whether I will retake or not)

    Practice MCAT: B/B: 128; C/P: 127; CARS: 127; P/S: 128; total: 510
    Actual MCAT: B/B: 129; C/P: 127; CARS: 125; P/S: 125; total: 506
