Dr. Ming Wang’s MCAT study pearl article
LINK to a path of success, On MCAT preparation by Dr. Ming Wang, Harvard & MIT (MD)
Many years ago, Dr. Ming Wang, Harvard & MIT (MD, magna cum laude); UMD (PhD, laser physics), the subject of the film “Sight” (FREE link: https://www.drmingwang.com/about/movie-sight.html), came to the classroom of Princeton Review of Nashville, on the invitation of its director Mr. Wade McKinney, to speak to students about preparation for MCAT. MCAT stands for Medical College Admission Test, which is regarded as the single most important exam for medical school application in the US today. Upon hearing about Dr. Wang's own success in MCAT and his years of experience in teaching MCAT at Stanley Kaplan Educational Center, Mr. McKinney decided to invite Dr. Wang to speak to the students who are preparing for the exam through the Princeton Review Nashville system.
"The most important thing that I want to share with you today is the concept of linking", Dr. Wang began his lecture. In late 1980's, with almost no pre-med course preparation and minimal extracurricular activities, Dr. Wang studied for MCAT himself and achieved full scores in all science subjects and an overall MCAT score ranked in the top 0.001% in US that year. He admitted to both of the top two medical schools in the U.S., Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins. Partly due to the racial discrimination that he experienced at Hopkins in his medical school application process (a story was described in his autobiography “From Darkness to Sight” and also told in the film “Sight” (FREE link: https://www.drmingwang.com/about/movie-sight.html), he went to Harvard and MIT joint program and in 1991 graduated with MD magna cum laude from Harvard and MIT with a graduation thesis that won the first place of Harvard Medical School that year.
