That's why I said it can be a lot harder for some more than others, but ultimately it is still possible.

A few people and they say it's relatively easy. Most people say the science portion is the hardest, but I have a BS in Biology so while I'm worried I feel like I'll do okay. I do need to brush up on my chemistry and the periodic table trends though. You're not allowed to use a calculator, but the math is really simple. Like I swear one of the example problems is something like: Simplify the expression 158-75  |
The test sounds like peanuts  You def shouldn't have a hard time doing well enough on that

A lot of my friends too the MCAT (and the PCAT).... I just recommend studying (of course) and dedicating hours to actually time yourself and take the practice tests.

I've been studying and doing test preps since last September. I'm gonna take it soon tho because the longer I wait, the more anxiety I have  About to say **** it, and just bite the bullet.

Yes, one of the main problems with minorities, who compromise the majority of urban areas is the lack of resources. There's a direct correlation between ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and education. Most people never come out of the hood because of these lack of resources and for the simple fact that they aren't educated enough. The reason why health is so bad is not only because of a lack of resources and insurance, but also because they simply aren't educated. It's sad. That's one of the main reasons why one of my life goals is to open an outreach program in Metro Atlanta for underprivileged kids. Me and my husband want to educate them on health, finances, among other things that they otherwise may not otherwise learn. I feel like education is one of the biggest catalyst for change including yourself and the world.

That's not really the point. The success rate shouldn't be so far apart.

This. The reason so many fresh off the boat Asians can start a business is that have alternate avenues to raise the capital that's needed. For blacks it's either a bank loan or nothing.

Don't patronize them. All they do is set up shop in Urban areas, freeze blacks out of the market, and refuse to hire them.

I can agree with this, but the sad thing is a lot of people in those areas don't have many other options. They know what they're doing.
