This is my Journey, Dr. Moss, as a premed I failed the MCAT, retook it, and still got into multiple medical schools. In this video, I share my MCAT failure and retake story— from scoring around a 475 to g a 505—and explain how I rebuilt my application, managed test anxiety, prepared for medical school interviews and became a medical student and matched doctor.
