Welcome to another MCAT Master Interview! In this series, we talk with MCAT top scorers so that we can find out what strategies helped them the most in their process, and hopefully inspire you as you’re studying. Just because you’re struggling with the MCAT now doesn’t mean you can’t improve! We want to show you how top-scorers have raised their scores so that you can do the same! Meet Julia Meguro, a 519 scorer: When Julia started her prep, she had a concrete goal that she wanted to reach. She’d already been accepted to a program that required her to score at least a 512 on the exam. Setting out with this goal in mind, Julia studied for two and a half months while she also had an internship, and ended up scoring a 511 on her first take, just shy of her goal! Disappointed but knowing how she could improve, Julia took a break and decided to retake with full focus for a month when she was at home, but with three weeks left before her test date she still hadn’t moved her score beyond her 510 plateau. In those final three weeks, she focused on her strategy, and improved her score to an amazing 519 by test day! In this episode, we're going to learn more how she studied and increased her score, how she kept herself motivated, how she scheduled her prep, what strategies she used for each section, and so much more…
