Re: Brag: I got my MCAT results online last night
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] congrats...have fun being in debt. [/ QUOTE ] double brag: my fiance's parents are footing the bill! [/ QUOTE ] This is by far the bigger brag. I'm a first-year, trust me, being able to pick your school is awesome, not worrying about being in crazy debt is phenomenal. Where you want to go?

BEAT: You took August MCAT. Are you a junior? [/ QUOTE ] im supposed to be, but im on schedule to graduate next Summer so i can start a year early. Only reason i took august MCAT rather than april was because i had 20hrs of classes in the spring and finals were the week before the MCAT. Since i was already ahead of schedule i figured id just make it easier on myself.

Re: Brag: I got my MCAT results online last night
Good luck......
As some other posters have noted, having your school paid for by your girlfriend's family may turn out to be a HUGE beat, but good luck with that too.... FWIW, unless you have ambitions about being a high powered academic sort of guy, it really doesn't matter too much where you go. Your residency is a lot more important, and while there is a bit of a "legacy" halo at some programs, it's just not that big a deal. Pick out a place you'd like to live, where the students seem a bit less psychotic than the norm. And don't kill yourself midway thru your second year - it gets better in the spring. MM MD

i don't know about the mcat, so somebody put this score in perspective by telling me the percentile. [/ QUOTE ] the score is not off the charts or anything, the brag is mostly that 3 yrs of school and 4 months of studying for that test is all coming to fruition. Plus fining out how i did was such a relief, i have been rather nervous the past 8 weeks.

MM MD [/ QUOTE ] i.e., don't go to JHU if you have another option such as emory. i did not go to jhu med school, 4 year undergrad, started premed and it was cutthroat as hell. i've heard med school there is worse. also, i wasn't a huge fan of the city either. just my opinion as someone who lived there 4 years.
