<p>i'm not crazy...i know i can do it.</p>
<p>Someone is fairly indecisive. This is why you don't plan to take these tests too far in advance. See what college does to your career aspirations. I was in the same sort of boat. I didn't know totally what I wanted. My brother went to Law School. My father got an MBA. Both are great paths, and I thought I would pursue one of these paths or go to medical school. However, sapient as I was in high school, I was remiss for being so short-sighted. There are many great paths in life. It seems you have yet to find yours, but as I said, that is what college is for. Don't plan on taking all three of these tests. Wait until you get some experience and find where your passion truly lies. It takes charisma and devotion to be an attorney, patience (no pun intended) and dedication to be a doctor, and unflappable integrity to pursue what you love. Wait until you find what you love before stepping down a path that will lead you to wish you could have done it all over again.</p>
<p>Why in the world do you WANT these three degrees?</p>
<p>high school kids are so silly.....</p>
<p>what hopefuldove is pretty much saying is: "i wanna be a doctor-lawyer-businessman"</p>
<p>....no, doesnt work that way....if you plan on graduating in three years and taking three standardized tests you will most probably fail in everything and not have enough activities to be competitive in any of the fields.....stop being silly! y are all the highschool kids on this board insane!?!</p>
<p>Wow...hopefuldove, your a senior in highschool and still sooooo immature?</p>
<p>my sister (double majors) finished her medical school and law school in four years...after working for three years, she is now studying MBA in an elite university. i have seen how my sister did it, and she believes i have the ability to do it too. "immature?" maybe, most of you do not have the ability to do so.</p>
<p>altough she is doing her MBA right now, she also works as a part-time medical lawyer; and her annual salary is about $250,000.</p>
<p>shraf why r u such an ass...it's just kids having dreams...they'll figure out reality when they hit college as do most kids</p>
<p>Someone ran the mile in 3:43. Will you be attempting that as well?</p>
<p>Hopefuldove, I am still trying to figure out WHY you want all these degrees.</p>
<p>B/c his sister did it. duh</p>
<p>Haha - norcal, I understand your sarcasm - but it might be helpful for others on this board if you clarified it for them. I don't want HopefulDove thinking that that would be a legitimate reason.</p>
<p>Hopeful, can you give me as much information as you possibly can about your sister's career path?</p>
<p>The schools I know of all mandate seven years to complete an MD/JD - and I have looked into this.</p>
<p>Either you are wrong or, more likely (it is your sister, after all) you are right, and I am curious to hear what school allowed her to do this.</p>
<p>I dont even understand y his sister would want an MBA if she, supposedly, has a JD and an MD, which she has supposedly finished in 4 years rather than the usual 7.</p>
<p>i don't want to talk about my sister anymore...please...i have lived in her shadow for many years...</p>
<p>one day, i hope i can find a path different from my sister, or if i pursue her path, i must beat her records...</p>
<p>my father lost most of his money couple years ago when Enron went brankrupt in 2001...the point is that more than 95% of his stocks were in Enron!</p>
<p>being as his legal children, my sister and I need to work very hard to pay all his debts...my mother has only a high school diploma and is a waitress in our local restaurant.</p>
<p>beside getting all the top education we can, is there any legal way to pay our family debt? triple majors is just one of my many plans.</p>
<p>Hopeful, your story is very confusing and I'm afraid that - if what you're saying is true - you are going about it entirely incorrectly, as I'm sure any reasonable person understands that a sister who is making $250K is wasting, not earning, money by going to business school, and medical school will only bury you further in debt. You have repeatedly made some impossible statements and refused to document them.</p>
<p>Shraf, norcal, others - feel free to advise him however you wish, but I have a feeling I have nothing further to add to any of his inquiries. I won't be answering his posts from now on.</p>
<p>bluedevilmike-obviously I was being sarcastic but that seems to be the response he gave you after you asked him the first time</p>
<p>Hopefuldove-you do realize that the fastest way to clear up debt is not by going to probably the three most expensive professional schools around and prolonging your education???!!! I'm sure you and your sister are very bright but I just don't see the logic in your choice, especially given the reasons you have brought up.</p>
<p>For the person that asked (not the kid who made up the fact that his sister completed a JD and an MD in 4 - which is not freaking possible, b/c your last year of law school would coincide with your M3 year which is clinical and requires you to be at the hospital by 6am most days...so unless she did her JD in 2...whatever).</p>
<p>Anyways, the ACT and SAT english are not MCAT verbal. The VR section on the MCAT is all about critical thinking. It's not going to ask you what the main idea is (which is reading comprehension, what the SAT and ACT test), but instead what type of evidence would most support the author's arguement. Or what the implied arguement is, or the assumption on which the author's message rests on. Completely different beasts.</p>
<p>The PS and BS portions of the MCAT do require memorization. You need to know your physics formulas to do well on Physical Sciences. However, just like VR, the other two sections are testing critical thinking ability, not just what you know.While you need to be able to recall the formulas, more importantly you need to be able to understand the relationships they represent, b/c that will save you time on test day, rather than having to do all the calculations and such. Most people strugle with timing and pacing, so any sort of short cuts are a big help.</p>
<p>i think that someone who does law-business-med is concerned more about prestige and living up to others than actually helping people. I would highly discourage you from pursuing this path because if you apply to med school for the sake of prestige (or something) it will show and you wont get admitted. (plus, frankly it's just too much work to do three professional degrees)</p>
<p>money, money, money. duh.</p>

<p>As somebody noted above, this is impossible. Once again, NOT POSSIBLE.
Anyhow, if your sister has all the answers, what are you doing seeking answers to basic MCAT questions here?</p>
