you just made a new friend :) thanks for responding well to a (harsh) reply. i feel really bad for being an a$$ in the first place. i hope- and think- you understand. i will be retaking my mcat in august for sure. I was not accepted because I could not explain my true motivation for...

"Study hard and you'll improve." Thanks, DF, you just redeemed yourself. That's all I wanted to hear. For those of us who were not accepted ot medical school, it is sometimes daunting to hear that no matter how hard we work, statistics favor an MCAT drop. And for those of us who want to get...

devil in disguise... you're supposed to say, "oh golly gosh, the Kaplan and TPR tests are MUCH harder than the real thing, and the AAMC is on par." And you're supposed to say, "People who retake the MCAT tend to improve significantly the second time." Honestly, you can't tell us you didn't...

...how scandalous

For those who don't know, the Princeton Review offers a free online MCAT. It is a full-length test, and their questions supposedly model those found on the actual test. However, I found that test markedly more challenging than practice AAMC tests. Is today a bad day for me, or do you think...

DW, hahahahahahhaahh riiiiiight, COrnell, riiiight.

Let's get your opinions: what is the best study guide for MCAT Verbal? Thanks. W to the Izilly

I am on NYMC waitlist. Today, I submitted my 2003 app and 720 dollars. I figured, what the hay. I need a year off anyhow.

I worked with New World Monkey brains at Cornell. Oops, still no acceptances.....

Because this is more fun, and I don't want to come across as a pesterance.

Whoever knows the most about waitlist movement at NY Med wins!

MarleyB4, you're absolutely right. Kermit, thanks for the input! :wink:

Thanks... so what I'll do is not select anything. I'll apply as though I'm not taking the August MCAT, then forward my scores if they're >33-34. Is that legit and morally sound?

If I apply to medical school for 2003, and I retake my MCAT (as I have decided to do), will schools invite me for interviews (potentially) based on my 2001 MCAT (30), or will I be forever branded as a 'late' applicant?
