To the Melanesians, only the gods could be powerful enough to bestow such amazing material wealth, so the soldiers were seen as priests who had some special power to please the gods and bring the cargo. Seeing large cargo planes dropping huge crates of supplies (often shared with the locals by the servicemen) created societal upheavals. The sudden contact with advanced industrialized society came as a shock to the Melanesians. Staging ground preparations in World War II saw an influx of Japanese and American soldiers into the islands. The Melanesian islands house groups of tribal peoples who, for thousands of years, had no contact with outsiders. And it’s important to recognize what it is that the author actually cares about. So we have these two parts of this Western imperialism and paternalism, which the author is not a fan of. Note: What the author cares about here is how this is related to the Western discourse on cargo cult. This myth represents an insidious form of Western imperialism with, at its roots, two pervasive facets of Western culture: materialism and paternalism.

More important is the Western discourse that has grown up around cargo cults, which we shall simply call the cargo cult myth.

Kaplan’s refund policy is likewise generous compared to other test prep companies you qualify for a full refund for whatever reason provided that you cancel your subscription within three days of purchasing the course.īlueprint’s refund policy is stricter since you only have a 24-hour window in which to apply for a full refund. It’s robust, but one of the downsides is that there is no guarantee of any particular score - merely that you will have improved your score on the actual test as measured against a previous actual MCAT score or a practice test score at the start of the program. Kaplan’s much-touted Higher Score Guarantee (HSG) is the gold standard for test prep score guarantees. Score Guarantees and Refundsīoth companies underpin their courses with score guarantees backed by refunds. Nonetheless, in the Blueprint vs Kaplan MCAT instructor face-off, I can’t recommend either one over the other because both companies’ instructors are legitimate pros.

The only appreciable difference between the two is that Kaplan’s instruction is more scripted and “stiffer,” whereas Blueprint’s instruction is more free-wheeling with a more generous sprinkling of humor to break up the seriousness of the course material, which I personally appreciate. With the Premium Package, your instructor is guaranteed to be a 520+ MCAT scorer.īoth companies’ instructors are bona fide MCAT experts with a wealth of insight to offer. The basic live online course features 14 3-hour classes with experienced MCAT teachers.īlueprint’s live online courses come with 16-40 hours of live instruction, depending on the course option.

Kaplan’s live online courses and its bootcamp courses (both in-person and online) feature live instruction. As far as the mobile app goes, Blueprint slightly edges out Kaplan in terms of usability and aesthetic appeal, so if you’re going to be doing the majority of your prep on a mobile phone (which I wouldn’t personally recommend but understand that for some people it’s logistically more convenient), that’s another consideration.
