all of these are pretty unlikely with 3.4/3.14/23.

Add PNWU (if from or have ties to pacific NW), WCU and PCOM-Ga (if from or have ties to south or southeast), and COMP-NW

With those listed gpas, I think you should aim for a 28+ on your second attempt. Good luck

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

If you haven't submitted your primary then I would honestly recommend you take a year off and retake the mcat ( or if you've been studying then retake it in August and apply in septemeber).

I agree. I would also say KCUMB is pretty unlikely with those stats.

OP, your stats are unfortunately pretty evenly low. That doesn't mean you're doomed, but it does mean that its an uphill battle. If you have the money to reapply, you can just go ahead see what happens, but if you don't, it may be safer to do what serenade says and reapply next year after you retake the MCAT. Having a 27-29 will significantly improve your chances of getting acceptances.

 

[pre med 2014]

I would say it's not too late to have a retake scheduled and still apply this cycle. Aim for 27+

 

[DrEnderW]

I would plan on a retake only if you're scoring 28 to low 30s consistently.

Otherwise, I would take a year off to bolster your resume and do well on the MCAT. You might be able to sneak into a lower-stat school.

Narrow down? With those stats I would apply to every school. You are not very competitive without that retake.

Don't bother because of MCAT. Very unlikely due to regional bias

 

[NeuroLAX]

I would also scratch NSU-COM off your list.
