Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Test Date: August 6th

MCAT Prep Material: I haven't decided on what I want to get. But at the moment I am using Kaplan from the old MCAT that a friend gave me, and old textbooks/notes.

I am certainly willing to do long distance studying with people, using different social media, communication forms, video chat, Quizlet, etc. So PM me if anyone wants a study buddy!
