Poor you. You sound frustrated! Don’t give up. You can do it. If you love it so much.

This forum will be good for you:

What happens to people who fail the MCAT is they take it again later. In the meantime, see if you can gain some time to take a breath or two. The prescription is to take some elementary mathematics and science courses once again (you can do this at a community college if there’s one available) and then give your more advanced courses in mathematics a try. Keep your nose out of the MCAT study guide; it’s only serving to scare the hell out of you right now.

Wander over to the medical school and talk to people and think about your relationship to medicine–that is, figure out why it is that you wish to study medicine. Make sure that you aren’t pursuing someone else’s dream, and make sure that you aren’t expecting the field to yield either a very high income or a vast amount of prestige. Both are possible, of course, but that’s the case in any field. Study medicine because it’s medicine, and not for any other reason.

I don’t think anyone really “fails” the MCAT or any other Professional College entrance exam. They will really compare your MCAT score to every other applicant’s score and use other selection criteria to rank their applicants and go down the list to offer admission.

All the schools you apply for will check your transcripts to see what kind of grades you made, the school you do your undergraduate coursework at (for example Duke University is going to look better than Univ of Southern Mississippi), letters of recommendation, extra curricular activities, etc. etc. etc.

Study and try as hard as you can. I would also suggest having a talk with your advisior. I am sure they could give you a few pointers that will make you a stronger applicant when the day comes to apply for Med School.

Good luck!

You didn’t mess things up. Just keep your options open. You have to have these classes to get into med school. If you can’t do well in college in these classes then you might want to change your major.

There are some other options too. Physicians Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Antithesis. Check out those fields,

dude join the club but if you don’t get accepted to medical school were you are now try going some where else you can try going to Czech republic and learn the language and then take an entrance exam and study for free but I really don’t recommend it cause the language is really ******* hard I am telling you from experience or you can go to Romania the study there is really cheap about 3600 dollars go to this site and go to Romania and see for ur self www.findaschool.org

they have to try again
