Hi! I am new to SDN, always browsing, finally gave into making an account
So I took the MCAT in July did VERY badly, and took it again.
July 2011 7/7/6 O (eek!)
January 2012 9/9/8 L (5 point improvement, but blanked out during WS. Also, test was hard!!)
My practice tests were higher, highest being a 29 - 11/8/10 (highest scores in each section)
I am taking it again in April, of course I plan to increase my score to at least a 28. I am hoping for higher, of course.
GPA ~3.84 cum ~3.8 science
graduating this May - finished honors college degree in 3 years BA biology, came in with 0 AP/IB credits
Shadowed at 17 for ~40 hours, shadowing starting April for ~50 hours, then in the summer for ~100 hours
Volunteered at hospital ~50 hours
Research since I was 16 at Stony Brook (16), Rockefeller (17), Long Island University (19)
Worked for a non-profit organization geared towards promoting health education - taught health education workshops and started a research project
Took a class called Mini-medical school at UMDNJ for a semester where I was given tours of the hospital, attended lectures by faculty and students, current medical students gave insight into pre-med courses, admissions, med school
Volunteer at local temple since I was 15
Volunteer for Relay for Life since I was 15
Avid piano player since I was 9

I know my MCAT scores are severely lacking, but I was just wondering what my chances are. I do plan on raising my score to at least a 28. I am interested in MD and DO schools. Thank you!!!
