Summary of Application Experience
MCAT 8/2006 -- 8 VR, 9 PS, 7 BS, Q W = 24Q
Well, I retook the MCAT, and did horribly again (despite studying endlessly): MCAT 7/2007 -- 8 VR, 8 PS, 8 BS, S w = 24S. Hey, I'll take the 99.6% for writing. It sucks hardcore, but it's what I have to go with. I applied to a lot of more difficult schools because I thought I was going to nail the MCAT this time around; consequently, I'm withdrawing from most of those schools (except Northwestern -- my deadline for the secondary was before I received my scores).
