(no subject)
I suffered a tremendous blow to my ego today. I drove down to Georgia Tech this morning and took a practice MCAT (sponsored by Kaplan). I got a 19 (Physical Science 8, Verbal Reasoning 8, Biological Science 3). Granted, I haven’t studied the bio or organic chem. sections at all. But even if I scale that score up, I would’ve only made a 24. That’s what most people get on two sections.
When I received the score, I was shocked. Mortified. This is my arena. This should be my strength. Among co-workers, I always set myself apart from everyone else. I like to point out that I’m different, because I’ve had such vigorous training in the hard sciences. I joke about how socially awkward I am because I went to a Tech school. I say it with a smirk, peering over my designer rimless glasses, martini in hand, and looking every bit the over-paid consultant I am. The irony is lost on my audience. My self-deprecating humor is a subtle way of asserting my intellectual superiority. This too is lost on my audience most of the time.
How then, can I justify an MCAT score of 19?
My resolve is being whittled away slowly…
