I am asking this more as a comfort blanket (my AAMC's have ranged from 24-27 consistently - upward trend), but would getting maybe a 20-21 on the MCAT be offset by the following:

1. Applying as soon as the cycle opens in August
2. Having a 3.85 science gpa - A in Organic 1 and Organic 2
3. Completion of a Podiatry Pre-Professional Internship
4. Shadowed podiatrists and orthopods

I just want to be done with the MCAT. I am tired of it looming over my head. I take it 5/30.

The answer is yes. The briefest of exploration and search of this forum would have amply confirmed this.

Here's a different thought - why not crush the MCAT and save yourself $10,000. Its not a stumbling block - its an opportunity to excel.

Can you elaborate on the MCAT. What are your score breakdowns?
 
Yes, don't worry you will get in! You will get scholarship money too!
