I told everyone on SAS I was taking the MCAT. I was doing hundreds of questions and trying to teach myself the foundational concepts that I really did not know. No structure at all… just fear and frantically shoving Princeton review books down my throat. I immediately went back to self studying. I kinda knew this would happen, so I brought all my big books with me just in case I needed to study during my study abroad program. I would apply for medical school while I was studying on SAS and when I returned in December I would start interviewing for medical school.Īugust 2014. I can tell you alllll about the Semester at Sea which was hands down one of the best experiences of my life, (another post I promise), but I was so excited because I had it all figured out. I was able to finish my last semester on Semester at Sea (SAS). I always wanted to study abroad, so I was able to work out the ultimate deal. My school let me walk with my graduating class, even though I still had one semester left of my sociology degree. To bring things into perspective for y'all, I rushed to take the MCAT a month after walking during my graduation. I've told y'all before, I am so stubborn, it's one of my downfalls. Since I've been doing pre-med classes, I guess I should go ahead and take the MCAT. All because I was stubborn about the idea of going straight into medical school from undergrad. To be honest, I wasn't even really sure why I was so determined to be a doctor. I barely got to enjoy my college graduation because all I could think about was the MCAT.ĭeep down, I knew I wasn’t ready. I missed lasting memories with friends and family. I drove my roommate Brittany crazy with notecards all over the apartment and having mental breakdowns every other day. I gave the bare minimum at my jobs on campus because of MCAT. I missed senior week at my school because of MCAT studying. I believed if I just sacrificed my last 6 months of senior year that I would be fine. At the time I really believed that post-bacs were only for people who didn't get into medical school the first time. I enrolled myself in a 3 month Princeton review course while finishing my senior thesis in sociology. I rushed senior year of college to take the MCAT. I thought if I didn't go straight into medical school that I would be a failure.
