Two years ago, I spent 4th of July alone and cranking out ANKI cards. I did the same the year before that, and the year before that. I know what its like to be doing everything (and more), but your score still won’t move.
You’re frustrated with this test but deep down you’re mad at yourself for not getting it by now. It’s easy to accept the negative thoughts as truth and I won’t tell you to ignore them. BUT it's important to realize that your score is NOT a reflection of how smart you are. It's a reflection of how you perform under pressure. The same pressure you will experience throughout medical training.
I took the MCAT 3 times and used every resource imaginable. While my score went up, it never reached it’s true potential to match the rest of my application. When I left the medical path (a story for another day), I also left my job and spent 6 months at a VC firm with startup founders. Seeing them collapse under pressure the same why I did with the MCAT, showed me that my score reflected much more than my content knowledge.
And that's why I built Wellseen. We pair you with a resident physician who tracks your studying every single day. Not only what you study, but how you’re studying. Within the first week, your coach finds what’s holding you back. Most of the time, it’s a pattern of behavior that goes unnoticed.
If your score is stuck, it's not because you’re not meant for medicine. It's because there’s something invisible in the way and nobody (not even yourself) has shown you what it is.
