Memorable Points

The MCAT is so vital and such an important journey to take.
The MCAT is a total learning experience about yourself and if you do it correctly, you can use it to your advantage when you’re transitioning into med-school.
The biggest thing to remember when you’re taking the MCAT is not just why you want to be a doctor but understanding how this test can help you moving forward.
You have to be able to read a lot of information and pick out what is important and what isn’t. That’s where CARS can really help you going forward.
The MCAT journey can help you build the mental wellness skills that you need to be able to move forward in medical school.
I think something that's really important as well is learning how to stay comfortable even though you're uncomfortable.
The MCAT is not just a gatekeeper, you can really use it to your advantage.
