Hi everyone,

If you want a higher MCAT score, you do not need a brand new personality or a perfect schedule. You need a few clear decisions that you actually stick to.

Here are three changes you can make starting today.

1. Accept being unbalanced for this season

If the MCAT matters to you, it is okay for it to take priority for a few months.

Trying to perfectly balance school, work, social life, content review, practice, and self-care often leads to progress in none of them. A strong MCAT score is not forever. It is a season. You can always rebalance after.

Give yourself permission to prioritize the MCAT without guilt. That mental shift alone removes a lot of friction from studying.

2. Use Anki the way it was meant to be used

Anki works because it is boring and effective. If you’ve already taken the prerequisite classes, Anki is the most efficient way to keep content fresh while freeing time for practice. Jumping between five different resources feels productive but it dilutes repetition. Oh, and make sure to review it every day.

If you are unsure which deck fits your timeline or how to set Anki up correctly, reply to this email, and I will help you get started for free.

3. Stop asking why not, and start asking why not me

Thousands of students have achieved the score you want using structured, proven systems.

They are not all geniuses. They did not all start ahead. They just committed to a process and followed it long enough for it to work.

That same framework is what we use inside MCAT Edge. The difference is guidance, accountability, and knowing what to focus on at each stage.

What’s included as an MCAT Edge Student:

  • Get a personalized plan that fits your timeline and responsibilities based on a diagnostic quiz.

  • Practice with 1,200+ high-quality questions the right way.
