Got my MCAT scores today, and I was really pleased with them. That puts me one step closer to achieving this goal. Next thing is to complete 20 odd secondaries. (I almost doubled my number of applications from two years ago.) It’s safe to say that I’m not looking forward to this part. Not giving up yet.
