I'm not terribly surprised at the results since my mcat and gpa are low.. 3.38 and 27Q (10's on bio and physics, bombed verbal), plus I as quite late. To give a bit of background - my courseload has always been rough and I've taken 15 credits of honors courses. I have far more leadership and volunteering experiences than anybody would ever want, and a few good medically-related experiences. I've been involved in research for a little over a year and have won presentations in local and a national competition. Also, I'm hispanic.

So of course I'm set on re-applying this year.. but my question is, what do I do for a year?
At the moment I've registered to re-take the mcat in July. I have an offer to work doing research but I also really want to do a biomedical masters program. Which would be the best choice for me? Should I turn down the job and do the MA in August? Maybe work this year and start the MA in Jan?

I'm pretty confused.. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated :/ ]]> Sarah001 http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=1005743
