MCAT Mastery Podcast: Show Notes
About The MCAT Master Interview Series
Welcome to the MCAT Master Interview series!
We’re on an ongoing mission to put together THE formula for achieving a top MCAT score.
We’ve been doing this by gathering the most effective MCAT study strategies from verified top scorers, and then we bring them to you in the form of blog articles, daily emails, YouTube videos, strategy courses, through tutoring sessions and anything else that can help you along on this journey to reach YOUR maximum MCAT score.
We’ve been researching and holding interviews with top MCAT scorers for many years now, until recently we thought "Why not let you all in and give you a seat at the table during these interviews!”.
So, that’s what this series is for ????
We hope by listening to these interviews, you learn proven MCAT study strategies you never thought of, that you can start implementing right away!
And most importantly, we hope you feel an increase in inspiration and motivation because the MCAT journey can be very tough and it can be easy to fall into negative mental cycles...
But as you’ll learn from these success stories, every top scorer had to deal with the struggles, the challenges, and through perseverance, through strategy, through mindset work, they all made it to the top score that was right for them. ???? ???? ????
We have a real treat for you for our first MCAT Master Interview episode!
In this episode you'll meet one of our MCAT strategy mentors here at MCAT Mastery who is also a 100th percentile scorer, Priya Swaminathan!
About Priya Swaminathan
At the start of her prep, Priya was overwhelmed by the MCAT. She majored in Spanish and never took any science classes beyond the requirements. After a lot of frustration and stagnant scores, she decided she needed to push her test date back.
With additional time to revamp her approach, she focused on improving her mindset and strategy, which led to a steady upward trend in her score.
She stuck with it and took her score to a 524 (100th percentile!) by test date (with a 99th percentile CARS score!).
Priya scored in the 100th percentile, which is incredible, and in this interview, we’re going to launch into exactly how she did that!
We’re going to learn more how Priya 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…
