ReplyFeb 11th 1993, Water Rooster
I wanted to apply for medical school for MD & Ph.D dual degree in the coming years. However, I’m conflicted when to take the MCAT exam. Should I take the MCAT in 2021 or 2022?
According to numerology and my birthday, this year is 8 and next year is 9 and the other is 10. I wanted to take the MCAT in 2022 but I’m thinking 2021 is a good year to take the MCAT since it’s the year of Ox.
Thank you

00ReplyThere would have several job chances in the first half of the year. You should catch them timely. The stable job provides the stable income. Then the pressure of wealth would be released a lot. For the love relationship, March, May and July would be lucky months.
