MCAT

As many of you know Glen is currently applying to Medical School. The MCAT is a standardized test that you have to take before you apply and then schools decide if your smart enough or not based on your score. Glen took it the first time back in June. He had spent 2 weeks doing research in Puru, came back, studied for 2 weeks and then took the test. The MCAT was a swear word at our house after we got that score back. It wasn't terrible but definitely not what we wanted, but for how little he put in he did pretty well. He contacted a few schools and they recommended he take the test again and see if he could get a higher score because even one or two points could make a difference! He signed up to take it again and for the next 6 weeks he seriously studied his A$$ off! I was basically a widow and picked up extra shifts at the care home. Well....we got his score back this week and we are SO ecstatic! He improved his score by 5 points which is HUGE! This is the difference between getting into Med School or not. I am so proud of his large brain and dedication. He put so much work and effort into studying that It's nice to see our hard work paying off. I made a banner and cookies so when Glen got off work we could celebrate. The next night we went out with a couple friends to Gaucho Brazilian Grill for a nice, and expensive dinner! We enjoyed every second of it! So proud of you Glen. We're one step closer to Med School.
