I guess I have already asked a few people on SDN before but I just need more advice on what to do during my gap year. ..
I'm currently applying this cycle and have already submitted secondaries for a few school.
So. MCAT: 08/13: V7, P13, B12--33
01/14: V8, P14, B13--35
GPA: Top 20 college; upward trend, sGPA 3.61, cGPA 3.62.
Slightly above average EC, research+ shadowing+ volunteering+ artistic endeavor.
I am aiming at mid and low-tier and 2-3 top tier for reach .
1. Would a verbal 8 get me screened out of most of the schools? (ESL student.)
2. Do I need to do a 1-year graduate program to enhance my academic credentials? I'm concerning about my GPA. I also got a B- in immunology. I did pretty well in other high level courses tho. Or should I just continue doing another year of basic science research?
