我原来实验室带过一个韩裔的女孩。大一大二成绩不错，也有空来实验室帮工做实验。但是最主要还是跟high school sweetheart把婚结了。大四天天来我们实验室做实验。GPA也应该不错。但是她还是5年才进本校的医学院。中间GAP一年，就忙着考MCAT，星巴克打工，还有医院义工。同时父母给买房，让她们婚后有自己的公寓。
Taking MCAT is basically one-shot. Multiple attempts may not
Be helpful. A single MCAT score (520+ for ABC especially boy) is ideal. Authentically taking AAMC practice tests after seriously preparing MCAT will give you a clear idea of MCAT score you could get.
You don't need to know subjects super in depth or memorize lists and lists of things, but you need to have a pretty solid basic understanding of so many different subjects that it can become pretty overwhelming. All in all, I would say you need to have an understanding level of the content that would get you a B in the college courses of Physics 1&2, Bio 1&2, Intro Biochem, Intro Sociology, Intro Psych, Orgo 1(& maybe 2, kind of iffy), and Gen Chem 1&2.
I will say that out of any standardized test I've taken (and I'm basing this off the full length practice tests provided by AAMC, am taking the real one for the first time in 3 days) it definitely has the most "testing how you think" aspect to it. It really wants you to pull from multiple areas and "think like a scientist". It's a very different exam than most exams I took in college, which is much more narrowed and focused. A big part of studying is learning how the AAMC wants you to approach questions.
I started studying for 1-2 hours a day 6 months in advance, and about 3-4 hours a day the last month. That was mainly due to the fact that I am in a gap year working full time. A lot of my friends have had success studying for longer hours a day, starting 3 months out. It depends on your study style. Most study resources recommend 200-300 total hours of studying before taking it. As for forgetting material, I learned some of this stuff freshman year of college, and began studying as soon as I graduated, 4 years later. You'd be surprised at how much easier it is to learn the concepts for the second time and how much you actually remember! Good luck when you start your studying endeavors!

还有上海国
当然每个申请人的成绩标考这些没有细节。
最令人反感的是亚裔细分。
有点“没有退路可言”的悲壮。
一开始目标还是挺明确的。没耽误太多时间，包括本科毕业之后去GAP，到医院做volunteer。
我知道我们实验室原来有不少娃儿是本科毕业之后，继续在实验室里帮工，或是医院做volunteer，同时靠MCAT，还有面试。也就是一般都是5年时间。
如果是四年，在医院或是实验室助工实习时间够吗？
还是因为本身是名校的起点，GPA又高，这些助工经历可以免了？
成功率已经高达40%以上(州大据说最低但也有40%），这比例够可以的了，反正现在学医越往下走越觉得没那么难了，gap个三年，是不是大家都有份儿能进啊？
四年作义工科研文章肯定也能够，但是，但是，就是把自己忙死的节奏呗，别人party你实验，别人度假你义工
可能就有点来不及了。
我原来实验室带过一个韩裔的女孩。大一大二成绩不错，也有空来实验室帮工做实验。但是最主要还是跟high school sweetheart把婚结了。大四天天来我们实验室做实验。GPA也应该不错。但是她还是5年才进本校的医学院。中间GAP一年，就忙着考MCAT，星巴克打工，还有医院义工。同时父母给买房，让她们婚后有自己的公寓。
才gap一年就顺利进了本校医学院，还要怎样？！我们这T10的一个小中男和两个小中女在gap第二年了，到目前为止ins 上还没动静没官宣，也许要gap 第三年了
反正我们一起混实验室的一位墨西哥学姐今年无gap进本院
问经验？无它，大概因为我是西裔吧？
我身边仅仅知道的一个例子是我带的一个本科生。非常帅的小伙子，长得跟老版超人一个模子刻出来。生物方面懂得也很多。结果本校的医学院看不上，非要申请波士顿那边的医学院。GAP了两年都没去成，后来还是第三年去了州大本校的医学院。我估计名校，还有好地方的医学院申请更加激烈。

醫學院的申請是入學前一年的暑假就開始了 所以如果是gap一年 等於是gap剛開始就已經要開始申請了 那時候MCAT等等該有的都要有了 這樣才能寫到application裏。gap那一年做的東西反而在申請上來不及用。
要求小中男的標準就是比較高 所以沒差別 在醫學院的眼裏 都是ORM
我这例子正好相反，我们的一起实验室的一个premed美国白人帅小伙，典型美国白人帅哥，身长脸长个长，学习好，动手能力极强，情商还超级高, 把老板给哄得每天开开心心的，老板是美国老男人(夫妻店哈，没别的意思)，就是帅哥非常讨人喜欢......进实验室比较晚大三才进，但因为深得老板欢心，马上委以重任，带上不久就出了文章，推荐信应该给写得非常不错，再加上帅哥自己超人情商，面试应该也很好，最近也是无gap进了一所很不错的医学院
这两年IT火爆，严重影响我们这里小中们，尤其是小中男孩学医热情
你们家帅哥文章多吗? top医学院看重文章是真的吗? clinical这方面你们有什么特意加强的地方吗？多谢传授经验
对了，大三暑假申请真的是很忙很忙吗？我想安排一个欧洲度假15天，会很占孩子时间吗？
目标还是挺明确，不是医学院，就是法学院，都是为了好出路嘛。人家才不会被忽悠去做生物老千。
”为什么每个亚裔家庭都得出一个医生呢？我要不做医生，我是不是一个failure？“
这反问的，把我给噎住了。
其它族裔都会列出种族, 亚裔全都列ORM。

怎么看别人都是轻松520以上，搞得我们很紧张, 我们不擅长标准化考试，而且坐不住，７个小时会憋死
妈妈类
从时间来看， 如不打算GAP。 三年级寒假就要搞定MACT，三年级暑假开始申请。 二年级暑假没有别的干扰， 考MCAT是个不错的选择
请问MACT准备是最好夏天３个月什么都不干(不做科研不做internship)，毫无干扰的每天看12小时的书? 还是可以平常一边上课做义工科研，同时挤时间准备MCAT？我们看来要第二种情况了，很怕战线拖得太长，最后准备效果不佳？
这么好的成绩为何不高兴。她们老师的标准就是有多少孩子能考及格，能达标。
然后女儿说：“89就是89，不是90，95，89就是B+，不是A啊。”
就是想了解下MCAT到底有多难，需要put多少effort?
Be helpful. A single MCAT score (520+ for ABC especially boy) is ideal. Authentically taking AAMC practice tests after seriously preparing MCAT will give you a clear idea of MCAT score you could get.
Definitely hard, and I would say for two reasons:
You don't need to know subjects super in depth or memorize lists and lists of things, but you need to have a pretty solid basic understanding of so many different subjects that it can become pretty overwhelming. All in all, I would say you need to have an understanding level of the content that would get you a B in the college courses of Physics 1&2, Bio 1&2, Intro Biochem, Intro Sociology, Intro Psych, Orgo 1(& maybe 2, kind of iffy), and Gen Chem 1&2.

聽説有些醫學院比較看重research 但有些不怎麽待見research 喜歡clinical。 還有一些旁門左道的東西現在也流行了。
申請的那個暑假就先別出去玩了 secondary的東西太多了
