Episode 6: MCAT Prep

Patrick, Luke, and special guest Mina Guirguis (a UTD alumnus and current medical student at UT Southwestern) discuss MCAT study strategies.  *Some medical schools require applicants to take CASper, a situational judgment exam. It is designed to evaluate an applicant's interpersonal skills and is one component of a broader set of situational judgment exams called the Altus Suite.  If one of your schools requires you to complete this exam (or another exam in the Altus Suite), be sure to register at https://takealtus.com/welcome_to_takealtus/ and take the exam before your TMDSAS/AMCAS application is verified and sent out to your target schools. This will minimize delays in your application.
