Hi all! I am currently looking into medical schools to apply for in the spring, and I could use any advice/suggestions. I am most concerned about my MCAT score (122..) but I'm not entirely keen on retaking it. I bet I could improve my score, but the best score I had ever gotten on a practice test was ~506/507. Here is some information about myself:
-graduating this year from a top UC
-Human Biology and Society with focus on Medicine and Public Health (a new and somewhat competitive major)
-3.8 cGPA, 3.7 sGPA
-503 MCAT (127 chem, 122 cars, 125 bio, 129 psych)
-700hr+ nonclinical volunteer experience
-100hr clinical volunteer
-medical trip in a rural country
-director of a non-profit organization
-internship working with people with dementia
-research assistant
-work at a coffee place on campus
-other ECs such as chorus and IM sports
-Caucasian American female
So, should I take a shot this cycle, or would it be a waste with my MCAT?
If I go for it, what would be a good list for me? DO schools? Thanks in advance for any help!
