<p>When did you take your MCAT? I’m also curious as to why you were in the undergrad program for 5 years. Was that planned? What do you recommend doing in general as an undergrad going into their 3rd year who’s only recently made their decision about graduate-level schools? Very broad questions, sorry. I just feel like any direction would be nice to have. Thanks!</p>
<p>Took my MCAT at the end of my 3rd year. I stayed for 5 years because there was no need to rush life. I worked all throughout undergrad and combined with several scholarships from high school and ones earned during college I was able to attend an extra year and still graduate debt free. </p>
<p>Because of the extra year I had a lighter load, which made flying out to interviews around the country a lot easier.</p>
<p>As a 3rd year you really should be getting ready to take the MCAT if you are pre-med, also you should have some research position or at least one lined up for your 4th year. </p>
<p>If you aren’t premed… then yes that question is far too broad to answer haha.</p>
