Next time I talk to my bro-in-law, I’m going to ask him if he knows anyone who has hit 40+. He’s at arguably the top school in the world doing his residency in one of the toughest specialities and if I remember right, he hit 38. I could only muster a hacksaw score of 25, twice.
I think what’s really difficult about the MCAT is the depth and breadth of the material. A pre-med student takes:
bio 1, bio 2, genetics, chem 1, chem 2, o-chem 1, ochem 2, physics 1, physics 2, and perhaps a few more that I am forgetting. Along with those, there is a lab class associated with it.
Before we started, they said, 100 will start, by the end of freshman year, 50 will remain. By the end of sophemore year, 25, by the end of junior year 12. Out of those 12, 6 will get in med school.
The MCAT tests the final 12 out of 100. The competition is extremely fierce.
