MCAT Forum

Discuss the MCAT exam in this forum. MCAT stands for "Medical College Admission Test".

Almost all US medical schools now require students to submit MCAT scores during the admissions process. The MCAT score is then taken into account by the medical college admission committees.

The MCAT is a multiple choice examination. MCAT scores are reported in Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences, Writing Sample and Biological Sciences.

For US med school, you'd probably do better over on the forums at Student Doctor Network. I used Dr. Ferdinand's MCAT Gold Standard and MCAT Pearls (which is on the web). I got 13 on VR, 10 on BS, and 9 on PS.

You obviously have very good expressive ability, based on your background.

Thought I should let you know that Southampton really appreciates articulacy and literacy of its med. studnts, of which you have lots!!! And Southampton, like Queen Mary, London (Barts) is very foreign-student friendly, meaning it has a very welcoming feel.. Aberdeen is also a good shot, I should suggest, because they weigh academic abilty/skills very strongly and sometimes they do things quite a li'l bit different North of the border. Living in England certainly has its advantages. And u are quite likely to already possess the sort of non-academic attributes they seek: things like in interest in others, honesty and integrity, etc..

P.S. Your MCAT scores were good!!! Some people average 6 in each section!!!
