k what normal colleges give full rides ?

Almost any college will. You show them you have the grades for it they will pay for you to go.

Just wondering what's the distribution in questions between Physics I and Physics II in the Physical Science area. Is it possible just to take Physics I course and self study Physics II before taking MCAT? Appreciate your inputs.

You probably could self study the whole test. The thing is will you know the material well enough that any question won't stump you. You do have to have a second semester of physics for med school, so why not take it then take the MCAT.

I heard majority of the Physics questions will be from Physics I. Just want to confirm if this is true. Plan to take MCAT at the end of Sophomore year and will retake it again in junior year if not satisfied with the results. Will take Physics II before med school.

umm...what topics consitute physics I and II? The big topic I learned in second semester physics was electricity/magnetism and that's heavily covered on the MCAT.

Regardless, you should take the MCAT after you've finished both semesters of physics. The topics covered in each section vary from test to test and from form to form on the same test. I would not base my studying on advice like "only physics I is covered on the PS section."

Hey guys,

Has anyone in the history of the MCAT ever scored a perfect 45? If one were to actually to do so, would they basically get admitted to every college they applied to?

sakky · 01-22-2006, 04:05 PM

The answer to the first question is yes, the answer to the second question is no.

There are no guarantees to getting admitted. And the MCAT is only factor. If that person had poor grades and/or poor EC's, he would still have great trouble getting into places.

When will MCAT become computer-based test?

cooljoe · 01-23-2006, 06:35 PM

pittheels: I believe that happens in 2007.

bigndude · 01-23-2006, 06:36 PM

After this august it will only be computer based.

There's a new weekend class in Florida that I just heard about. It's called Lesson45.com I think. They posted flyers all over my campus. Has anyone heard anything about it?

I was wondering if you were doing a five year BA/MS program, when would you take the MCAT?

sanguine99 · 02-02-2006, 04:40 PM

I know this post may be silly, but is there any correlation between MCAT and SAT Scores? If so I feel as though I am a bit screwed because I only managed a 1320 math+verbal and I really have the ambition of continuing on to medical school. I did well on my SAT2s if that means anything...

The average doctor only has an 11-something SAT score.
