I PASSED THE MCAT!

So holy fucking shit, I passed the MCAT. I think huzzahs and drinks are in order. I can think back 7 and a half months ago, when I began my MCAT prep course (princeton review), only to squander the time as I was too busy with my other college studies to effectively devote time to the MCAT. That lead my to reschedule my test date from May 11th to July 24th. Yet I resolved myself to wiling away my summer days, studying in the various librarys around central PA. After what seemed like a maddening amount of time, I still had not completed my review of the material. And so I contemplated pushing back the test yet again, to an undetermined date in Japan. However, this would mean that I would not be able to apply to medical school this year, instead giving a 2nd year off. This prospect seemed unappealing to me to say the least, and so I decided to push forth and I took the MCAT from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm on a hot day in July. While i was less than confident that I had passed, the results came in today and needless to say, I was pleased. With my score, I can now apply to medical school carefree, and hopefully, come next August, I will be sitting in the entering class of 2012 (fixed for blair) in a school somewhere in the US. (よしょ)

congrats on passing the MCAT, but you may want to take some remedial math while you're in Japan. The class of 2011 started two weeks ago, Winer-san. :)

You may have passed the M-CAT, but you still have 4 more CATS at home,
