You no joke will be studying nearly every free hour of those two weeks. One thursday, and then mon, wed, fri of the next week. All lectures are recorded and re-watching them on 2x speed is extremely convenient. There's tons of my classmates that study more than me, but the key is to be efficient and find what works for you. I overhear people in the library quizzing each other on the most minute details that never show up on exams. Its a ton of material and piles up on you quick. Definitely recommend understanding concepts more so than memorizing every detail. I knew this was my last chance academically and coming up short was not an option for me. Not trying to toot my own horn just letting those of you who might be in a similar situation know that anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I ended up working 20-30 hrs a week, have a 4.0 ending with a 98-100% average in all, but a couple of the classes (Looking at you Neuro), and will be starting medical school next week. I have a family and had no choice financially, but those comments stressed me out the first few months. During orientation they gave this little rant about how if you have a job you should quit it if you want to do well.

(idk if you guys know this either but an A in these classes cut-off at 92%, NOT 90%)Ĭurrent MSP3 student who just stumbled upon this thread and wanted to offer up some advice from my experience. If I were to guess (and this is purely a guess.), the average GPA in the program would be around a 3.6-3.7.

The average for most classes are either a B or B+. Also, if you think about it, the class is about 180 people, and only 5-10% get 4.0s. Side note: I think it's very important to find a group to study with that will motivate you (don't get crazy with like 10 people, but I've noticed a max of 6 is just right).

I also think that the TA sessions allowed me to get that second look at the material from a different perspective and that was extremely helpful. but, when I do study, I do not mess around with my friends and I get stuff done efficiently. I will tell you now that I did not "preview" lectures before classes like some students and I didn't really start grinding for studying until two weeks out from exams. I also changed how I took notes during this program and, as you said, I applied myself infinitely more than I did an undergrad. Like I do not always instantly know the answer to every question on the exams, however, I have a strong baseline knowledge that will allow me to apply what I studied to the question-if that makes sense. But I'm a proponent of "study smarter, not harder." The key in this program isn't to simply memorize the slides (which a lotttt of people do), it's to see the connections between concepts across lectures.

Our materials show you how to assess science significantly and think like the AAMC writers who had written the real MCAT.Click to expand.I'm sure some people put in more hours than me solely studying for the program.
