Hi there,
I need some serious advice guys. I am a Canadian and will be applying to both Canadian and US schools this cycle. I have a 4.0 GPA for US and 3.95 for Canada. The first time I took the MCAT last year I was upset since I scored a 27 (9PS-8VR-10BS). I took it again this June and got my scores back: 32 (11PS-8VR-13BS). Although my score is much better, I am confused as ever! What should I do about that 8 in verbal again...
I never really score too well on verbal sections in the practice exams either, around 9s. I have good ECs (5 years on-going hospital volunteering in 2 dept's, science advisor at my faculty, 2 research positions, tutoring, intramurals, etc.).
I would appreciate your advice on what I should do regarding both the Canadian and US schools. Also, a concern I have is that if I were to retake the test (maybe Aug. 1), my AMCAS application would be delayed as US schools would be waiting to hear about my new score. Not sure how much that would hurt me as well.
