@@peytonvogt3319 I’m actually making a video soon going over all things related to the MCAT so be on the look out for that! But in short, giving yourself around 3 months of dedicated MCAT study time is usually a good plan. If you don’t plan on taking a gas year you would have to take the MCAT during your senior year of college. Otherwise, if you take it after graduating, you will have to take a gap year, which is perfectly fine and what I did!

Love the video JR! I liked the point that you made about shadowing showing that you know what you are getting into. I, like you, found a passion for surgery through shadowing. How might you spin your application to not be so “specialist” heavy knowing that many programs are looking to put out more primary care doctors.
@EvolvingMedic3 жыл бұрын
Appreciate you Hunter! And that’s a great question! In my application I focused more on my general aspiration to be a doctor rather than wanting to be an orthopedic surgeon. And when you submit secondary essays or interview with those schools who prioritize primary care, really emphasizing your passion for patient care and things like that will be important.

I think I heard that we can self report our GPAs, so would/could we self report those STEM electives as part of the Science GPA? Or just stick to the core classes? Orrrr did I misunderstand it, which is a very big possibility haha. Thank you again!

Is a special masters program a better option than post -bacc ?
@EvolvingMedic3 жыл бұрын
From what I know about special master’s programs, they seem to be “high-risk high-reward” because they can be a bit more challenging that post-baccs (taking courses more similar to med school classes rather than pre-med classes). And doing poorly in this would hurt your chances even more. They may also be a bit more expensive. It would really depend on your situation. For most people, I would probably recommend a post-bacc if the goal is to improve your GPA or take the premed requirements. If you are reapplying though and just want to have something further boost your candidacy, a special master’s program may be a good idea
