I'm just wondering if I should just apply again next cycle to better schools. If I built up my ECs this year and then applied June 1st, I think I could have a shot at some really good schools like Duke, NYU, Northwestern, Case Western, Vanderbilt, etc. What do you guys think? I know I posted a similar post asking what are my chances to some of these schools but I didn't get a lot of responses....hoping for some more advice on what I should be expecting to hear from some of these schools or what I should do. Thanks!
Also next year with the different MCAT exam coming in....do you think the old MCAT will be looked at as the same value as a person that took the new MCAT...assuming the two people are in the same percentile range?
