I Failed the MCAT! My Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) Journey | Part 1

The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is the standardized test that a student must take in order to apply & be accepted into medical school. In this 3-part series, I will detail my MCAT journey, including all of the highs and lows. This first video describes my first attempt at the MCAT during my junior year of college. Result: I scored a 18 out of 45 (the scoring scale at that time), which is the equivalent of a 15th percentile score. I had to be very realistic with myself that this was a score that would not get me accepted into medical school. After exploring other options, I decided to take a few gap years and go get my Master of Public Health (MPH). This allowed me to get a higher level degree, making me a more competitive medical school applicant, while also giving me more time to study for my second MCAT attempt.

In part 2 of this series, I will discuss how I changed my study strategies, what I did differently, and the results of my second try.
