piggybank- Honestly, I LOVE my undergrad experience. Some people say the MCAT is the hardest test they’ll ever take but I’m more science oriented and did very well on the math portion of the SAT and on my science SAT II’s and through my practice MCAT’s I feel like I have a shot at getting a relatively high score. Let me just clarify that I’m not acting snobby but I’m just providing an unbiased view

In regards to social life, I have more of a social life than most of my peers- this is only because my high school prepared me well for college. The intro courses were a breeze and I’m enjoying the upper level courses. I’m above average in regards to the GPA of the average accepted medical student- and all of this with about an hour of regular studying daily. Obviously if I have an exam, the few days prior are just 5-6 hours of studying…and all of this at a top 30 university. I actually did think about what it would be like if I did direct med- I would’ve sold myself short- I knew that I can get into med school and I want to be able to pick which med school to attend instead of the other way around
