Hi Everyone,
So I recently received my MCAT score (first time) : 24 (8,8,8). Felt like I underperformed on Bio and Verbal, but honestly do not want to take it again if possible.
My cGPA is around 3.6 and my sGPA is around 3.5 (I can probably raise these to 3.65, 3.55 before graduation). I would be grateful to get into any DO school (except LUCOM, after reading around haha) since the goal in the end is to achieve my dream of becoming a great physician. My EC's are not outstanding: I have around 100 hours volunteering in the ICU, 2 years as head of my church youth group, played a semester of intramural badminton, and can probably get some DO shadowing in before June.
My questions are:
1) Should I retake this MCAT score?
2)Should I apply this upcoming cycle early and see what happens, or should I wait until 2016 and apply then? Does it hurt to be a re-applicant?
3)I have been looking around and got a rough idea of a school list, but if someone with more experience could help me out it would be seriously awesome!
Thank you all!
