SDN I am in a pickle.
I'm a few years out of college, with a healthy dose of life, clinical and volunteer experience added onto my person. I took the MCAT in 2013 and got a 29 (VR and BS were good but PS brought me down) I was consistently scoring a few points higher on practice tests, self studied, and did not exhaust all the resources available for test prep.
I applied this year to many MD and DO programs and the Medical School of International Health (MSIH) an IMG program that I am excited about (except for the IMG aspect)
I am still waiting to hear from DOs, but have been accepted to MSIH. Should I accept and become an IMG with a likely chance of matching but with limited options, or should I retake with the new MCAT and apply again? (this is my first time applying and I was foolishly late in the game)
Also worth noting, I am pretty sure I want to go into Primary care, although, I would like to keep my options open if possible.
Also, I have never taken the psych and soc pre reqs for the new MCAT.
