Johns Hopkins is pleased to announce the University's MCAT REVIEW COURSE, which will be held during January Intersession, 2021, on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings via ZOOM. This course is an essential alternative to a commercial test preparation course and near half the price.
Hurry! REGISTRATION closes on Monday, December 21 at 6 p.m.
The course is offered by the Odyssey Program at Johns Hopkins, and was developed in close consultation with the Pre-Professional Advising Office. It offers an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to the MCAT, using materials created by veteran instructors, the AAMC, and Examkrackers.
The course is directed by Thomas Crain, Senior Lecturer at Johns Hopkins, who has directed MCAT courses for the Odyssey program for over a decade. Additional instructors include Dr. Richard Shingles, professor of biology at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Barbara Smith, former professor of psychology at both Johns Hopkins and Goucher College, and author of the book The Psychology of Sex and Gender, Dr. Reid Mumford, Department of Physics & Astronomy at JHU, and Dr. Wendy Olson, formerly of the Chemistry Dept., UMBC.
The course will provide thorough familiarity with the MCAT and its objectives; a review of the content areas that the test covers (chemistry, biology, physics, psychology and sociology); test-taking strategies and tips geared toward this 7.5-hour exam; and ample practice with sample problem sets and comprehension passages, including the opportunity to take official AAMC practice tests. As one former Hopkins student commented: It was a fantastic way to study for the MCAT, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I have yet to hear of another MCAT course that focuses on teaching the actual material and uses actual university professors. — Billy Scola (2016 student)
