<p>How well does a bio major, for instance, at Case prepare you for the MCATs and for Medical Schools (in the sense that Med schools look at Case as a good school, and they would consider you to be an impressive applicant coming from this schools, given of cousre that your scores are good)?</p>
<p>Is it really hard to do well if you are a bio major at Case? Lots of studying/work, etc.?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>i have the same question. anyone has an answer:)?</p>
<p>One of my good friends is a bio major at Case. She says that yes, there is a lot of work and studying involved and it is pretty competitive, but if you learn to manage your time well, then it becomes manageable. And she just recently took the MCAT's this summer and said that she felt pretty prepared for it.</p>
<p>How is the competition? And do most pre-med at Case end up going to Case's medical school or somewhere else?</p>
<p>I have tons of friends who are PMs here at case
and I would say its split between going to case and goign elsewhere.</p>
<p>The one interesting thing about teh 6-year Med/Dent programs is that you dont get a bachelors degree, so I'm not sure how transferring works, but they gaurentee you admission...</p>
<p>One of my senior friends is looking at Harvard, Emory and JHU among other med schools. I also know some one who went to UofMich and is looking at Case's Med school</p>
<p>i haven't heard about the 6-year med program. do you have to apply to that during senior year in HS?</p>
<p>Whoops, My bad, I meant 6 year dent
Sorry for the confusion</p>
<p>what kinda MCAT scores do people get on the MCAT from case premed though??? any details??</p>
<p>can anyone answer these questions ^^^ ?</p>
<p>it all depends how well you do and how prepared you are... it really depends... i mean i heard of someone getting above 40 but then again i also know someone who got a 29... premed is hard but i think if u do the work case prepares you well...</p>
<p>A few answers:
Approximately 25 Case students matriculate to the Case Medical school each year, some of them are pre-prof some are not from the PPSP program.
Average MCAT from Case I would guess around 30-31, that could be off by a couple points. I completely agree with casej2006, it really depends on how much effort you put into preparing. I have also know several people who got 40+ and other who got less than 30. With the 6 year PPSP Dental program you don't received a bachelor's degree to my knowledge, however you can choose to do 8 years if you want. With PPSP Med you do receive a Bachelor's degree, the med program is 7-8 years. Both of the PPSP programs must be applied for during high school.</p>
<p>how does the MCAT exactly work? i know there are four sections: bio, chem, physic, and verbal. how much is each section worth? and also, does it cover mostly 1st and 2nd year courses, or do you have to wait until after sophomore year to get a good score on it?</p>
<p>The four sections are actually biological science = bio + o chem, physical sciences = general chem + physics, verbal, and writing but you had the general topics right. The first three sections are scaled 1-15, for a numerical total of 45. The writing is scaled J-T. A possible score would be 32S. It is usually taken the summer after sophomore year or in the spring of the junior year. There are some exceptions to that. It covers biology - 3 semesters worth at Case, physics, general chemistry and organic chemistry. Some students cram all of that into their first 2 years, some spread it out over 3 years, typically with physics being taken as a junior. The MCAT test company has a pretty detailed website that might be of use to you. But you don't really need to start worrying about the MCAT just yet, it's still at least a few years off.</p>
<p>thank you for info:) i heard that the MCAT is now offered several times a year, but ppl recommend to only take it once. why is MCAT different from SAT here? if i can improve my scores, would it be a good idea to take it multiple times?</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
