You will not be disadvantaged by your race or ethnicity. You do not even have to specify if you do not care to . Some communities in the US have so few physicians that active efforts are made to recruit those most likely to serve them. This includes those members of these communities that have validated their commitment to this service.

It will be years. So many current applicants rushed to take the old MCAT that relatively few in this admissions cycle are new MCAT only.
Interesting, I thought I read somewhere that it was expected to be about 50-50
We have relatively few.
Anything notable/consistent about the type of applicant bearing a new score?
Not really.

Hey, I'm not going to respond to this here because it would be derailing to a long-term stats thread. However, as a heads up, if you post this in the WAMC forum (stickied at the top of Pre-Allo) you'll get responses from a lot of people, some of whom with plenty of experience in this sort of advice/evaluation. Best of luck to you!
If those Cs are recent and represent a downward grade trend, then chances are likely to be lower than the graphs at the beginning of this thread would imply. If the Cs were followed by consistent excellent science grades over the following year, then chances would be higher.
What if it was in a masters :/ it's not a hard core SMP.its in bioscience so some business mixed with science but I am getting mostly A's with a couple B's
The graphed data at the beginning of this thread refers only to GPAs of AMCAS applicants and doesn't take into account grad school grades. If you want detailed input about your odds and your personal situation, consider starting your own thread in the What are my Chances? section.
