MCAT Scores

If you're reading my blog your either family or a close friend.  I thought everyone would appreciate getting a med school application process update.

It is 2 AM India time and I just got off the phone with my mother.  Today was the day I found out my MCAT scores.  Drum roll?...... 35! I know what you’re thinking; the exact same thing I’m thinking, there is no way I am smart enough or did well enough on the test to earn a 35.  I walked out of the testing center thirty days ago hoping for a 29... praying for a 29.  I thought I did bad because I got a nasal infection the day before I took the test, took pseudoephedrine right before the test (which I took for my nose but also acts as a stimulant and jacked up my nerves to the point my head was spinning), and bombed the first third of the test (or so I thought). 

Iadmit without hesitation that God abundantly blessed me with an above average score when I didn’t earn it or deserve it.  Pslam 8:31-32 “…If God if for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?”  A modern day David and Goliath.  A pure miracle.

I feel like a completely new person.  I look forward to the next 4 weeks in India and can’t wait to start filling out secondaries.  I’m not sure if I have ever been this happy in my entire life. Studying for that test and worrying about my results for a month has been agonizing.  I can’t imagine how I would have felt if I would have gotten a 25 while here in India so far away from home and support.

 I know this post has nothing to do with India but it’s a pretty MASSIVE update in my life.  God is good!
