3.0 GPA, 488 MCAT, Burnout to Medical School Acceptance

April 6, 2019 By Leah4sci 49 Comments

Graduation Day Premed Support Leah4sci

The internet will have you believe that if you don’t have a perfect GPA and MCAT score, you can’t go to medical school. Sometimes strangers (online) get in our heads, sometimes it’s our inner circle including family, friends, and advisors. And sometimes that little doubting voice comes from within. “My GPA is trash, I’ve already […]

shorter mcat feedback from students 2020 leah4sci

The MCAT is now just 5 hours and 45 minutes. Is this better or worse than the 7+ hour exam?I’ve heard arguments for both, but choose not to weigh in, because regardless of how I feel, I cannot change it. Instead, I look at it this way: This is how it is,and if there’s nothing you […]

How She Scored a 518 on Her MCAT

October 31, 2015 By Leah4sci 32 Comments

The MCAT is a grueling 7.5 hour exam and should not be approached lightly. However, hearing that you need to devote ~500 hours over 6-8 months can sound overwhelming if you’re just getting started. Many struggle, and many many students postpone and retake. But… this is typically due to inadequate preparation or unpredictable circumstances. If […]

Preparing for the MCAT using 5 full length company exams Leah4sci

Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback on previous ‘MCAT prep and test day’ stories, here is yet another MCAT interview, this time from one of my study hall members who had taken quite a few (too many IMO) full lengths before joining the program.

MD bound despite 2.7 undergrad gpa

When your dream is to become a doctor, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and scared. It’s easy to feel the anxious sense of ‘I must apply to 100 schools, get accepted to 50, and hopefully reach my dreams!’  Now I agree, you want to apply to multiple schools. But in the end, one acceptance is […]
