Worried your MCAT score is too low for medical school?

擔心自己的 MCAT 分數太低，無法進入醫學院？

The MCAT is a seven and a half hour marathon that could determine your future in medicine before it's even begun.

MCAT 考試是一場長達七個半小時的馬拉松，可能在考試開始之前就已經決定了你在醫學界的未來。

All that preparation, all that sacrifice, all for a three digit number.

所有的準備，所有的犧牲，都是為了一個三位數的數字。

And when that number isn't what you wanted it to be, it can feel devastating, like the ground has just dropped out from under you.

而當這個數字與你的預期不符時，你會感覺到毀滅性的打擊，就像地面從你腳下塌陷了一樣。

But if you have a low MCAT, all hope is not lost.

但是，如果您的 MCAT 分數較低，也並非沒有希望。

In this video, we'll share the eight medical schools with the lowest median MCAT score.

在本視頻中，我們將分享 MCAT 中位數分數最低的八所醫學院。

But first, how much does your MCAT score actually determine whether or not you get into medical school?

但首先，MCAT 考試成績對你能否進入醫學院究竟有多大影響？

It's designed to test your scientific knowledge and critical thinking abilities under pressure.

它旨在測試你在壓力下的科學知識和批判性思維能力。

Admissions committees value it as a hard metric to gauge whether or not students can handle the rigors of medical school.

招生委員會將其作為衡量學生是否能應付醫學院嚴格要求的硬指標。

But the MCAT is just one piece of a much larger puzzle.

但是，MCAT 考試只是更大難題中的一塊。

Your GPA, extracurricular activities, personal statement, letters of recommendation, application narrative, and interviews all play crucial roles in painting a complete picture of who you are as an applicant.

你的平均成績（GPA）、課外活動、個人陳述、推薦信、申請陳述和麵試都會對你的申請起到至關重要的作用。

It's completely possible to get into medical school with a lower MCAT score.

以較低的 MCAT 分數進入醫學院是完全可能的。

In fact, the median scores we'll be today are just that, the middle of the pack for these low MCAT schools.

事實上，我們今天要討論的分數中位數只是這些 MCAT 低分學校的中等水平。

This means many students who were accepted scored even lower and still received that coveted acceptance letter.

這意味著許多被錄取的學生分數更低，但仍然收到了夢寐以求的錄取通知書。

A lower MCAT score doesn't mean you'll be a bad medical student or physician.

MCAT 分數較低並不意味著你會成為一個糟糕的醫學生或醫生。

But it's important to keep in mind that this isn't the last test or major exam you'll take.

但重要的是要記住，這並不是你參加的最後一次考試或主要考試。

Medical school is filled with high stakes exams, culminating in the USMLE step exams, which are even longer marathons of tests that make the MCAT look like a warm-up.

醫學院的考試充滿了高風險，最終的 USMLE 考試更是一場漫長的馬拉松，讓 MCAT 考試看起來就像熱身賽。

USMLE step 2CK, for example, is a mammoth 9-hour test that will determine your residency competitiveness.

例如，USMLE 2CK 是一個長達 9 個小時的大型考試，將決定您的住院醫師競爭力。

If you hope to get into a competitive residency program like dermatology, neurosurgery, or plastic surgery, you'll need to make some serious changes to your study habits and test-taking strategies.

如果您希望進入競爭激烈的住院醫師培訓項目，如皮膚科、神經外科或整形外科，您就需要認真改變自己的學習習慣和考試策略。

If you're determined to become a doctor, there are medical schools that place less emphasis on MCAT scores and more on other aspects of your application, such as your personal story, perseverance, and research and clinical experience.

如果您決心成為一名醫生，有些醫學院並不太看重 MCAT 分數，而是更看重申請材料的其他方面，如您的個人經歷、毅力、研究和臨床經驗。

Now let's look at the medical schools with the lowest median MCAT scores for MD matriculants.

現在讓我們看看醫學博士預科生 MCAT 中位數分數最低的醫學院。

Note that this list focuses on allopathic or MD med schools only, not osteopathic schools, which typically have notably lower MCAT averages in comparison.

請注意，本列表只關注全科醫學或醫學博士醫學院，不包括骨科醫學院，因為骨科醫學院的 MCAT 平均分通常明顯低於全科醫學或醫學博士醫學院。

For example, the lowest MCAT MD school on this list has approximately the same score as the average MCAT for DO matriculants.

例如，本列表中 MCAT 最低的醫學博士學校的 MCAT 分數與 DO 預科生的平均 MCAT 分數大致相同。

Find out which school at the end of this video.

請在本視頻的最後瞭解是哪所學校。

We're working our way from number 8 to number 1, but first, as an honorable mention, there are a handful of Puerto Rican schools that had even lower MCAT medians than the US mainland schools on this list, including Ponce Health Sciences University School of Medicine at 499, Universidad Central del Caribe School of Medicine at 499, and San Juan Bautista School of Medicine at 498.

我們正努力從第 8 位上升到第 1 位，但首先要提到的是，有幾所波多黎各學校的 MCAT 中位數甚至低於本榜單上的美國本土學校，包括龐塞健康科學大學醫學院（499 分）、中央加勒比大學醫學院（499 分）和聖胡安包蒂斯塔醫學院（498 分）。

Let us know in the comments if you'd like us to cover Puerto Rican schools in more detail in a future video.

如果您希望我們在今後的視頻中更詳細地介紹波多黎各學校，請在評論中告訴我們。

While Puerto Rican schools are also accredited by the LCME, which is the same accrediting body that oversees all other US MD schools, to be successful at these schools, you absolutely must be fluent in Spanish.

雖然波多黎各的學校也獲得了 LCME 的認證，LCME 也是監督所有其他美國醫學博士學校的認證機構，但要在這些學校取得成功，您絕對必須掌握流利的西班牙語。

And we don't just mean ordering dinner in a restaurant, you must be able to keep up with colleagues in a fast-paced clinical environment.

我們指的不僅僅是在餐廳點餐，您還必須能夠在快節奏的臨床環境中與同事保持同步。

Additionally, there are typically fewer research opportunities available at Puerto Rican schools, which can hinder your chances of matching at competitive residency programs.

此外，波多黎各學校提供的研究機會通常較少，這可能會影響您與競爭激烈的住院醫師培訓項目匹配的機會。

If you're fluent in Spanish and interested in primary care, medical schools in Puerto Rico, a US territory, are a decent option and a much better choice than attending international Caribbean schools.

如果您能說流利的西班牙語，並對初級保健感興趣，那麼美國屬地波多黎各的醫學院是一個不錯的選擇，比加勒比海的國際學校好得多。

More on that over on my Kevin Jubbal MD channel, where I break down the regrets even attending physicians have about their choice to train internationally.

在我的凱文-朱博爾醫學博士頻道上，我將詳細介紹主治醫師在選擇國際培訓時的遺憾。

To start us off at number 8, the University of Houston Tillman J.

Fertitta Family College of Medicine has the 8th lowest median MCAT score at 506.

費爾蒂塔家庭醫學院的 MCAT 中位數為 506 分，排名倒數第 8 位。

For context, this score is in the 67th percentile, meaning if 100 people took the MCAT, approximately 67 of them would have scored at or below 506.

為便於理解，這個分數位於百分位數的第 67 位，也就是說，如果有 100 人参加 MCAT 考試，其中約有 67 人的分數會達到或低於 506 分。

The school is located in Houston, Texas, the 4th largest city in the US.

學校位於美國第四大城市德克薩斯州的休斯頓。

Note that you will need to apply through Texas' own application system, the Texas Medical and Dental School Application Service, or TMDSAS.

請注意，您需要通過德克薩斯州自己的申請系統，即德克薩斯州醫學和牙科學院申請服務系統（Texas Medical and Dental School Application Service，簡稱 TMDSAS）進行申請。

This is separate from the standard application service, AMCAS, used by most US medical schools.

這與大多數美國醫學院使用的標準申請服務 AMCAS 是分開的。

This means that if you are applying to schools outside of Texas, you will need to use both application services.

這意味著，如果您要申請德克薩斯州以外的學校，您需要同時使用兩種申請服務。

Only 10% of Texas med school matriculants are from out of state.

德克薩斯州醫學院的預科生中，只有 10% 來自州外。

So if you live out of state, you face an uphill battle.

是以，如果您住在州外，您將面臨一場艱苦的戰鬥。

與其他專科的醫生相比，初級保健醫生的報酬較低，同時由於醫生短缺和病歷增加，他們面臨著更大的工作量，這導致了高倦怠率。

In fact, pediatrics and family medicine rank 4th and 5th respectively among the medical specialties with the most burnout.

事實上，在職業倦怠最嚴重的醫學專業中，兒科和家庭醫學分別排名第四和第五。
