First off...I'm not retaking the MCAT. I made a 31, PS 8, VR 10, BS 13. I'm a TX resident, so I feel I still have a good shot at getting in somewhere even with the 8 in PS. I made A's in both physics and chemistry, I just panicked at the beginning of the MCAT that set me behind 5-7 minutes which resulted in a lot of guessing. I'm a mom with 2 kids under the age of 4, so studying for the new MCAT and doing well before I apply in June just won't happen.
I'm a non-trad (27), work as a scribe, have my own business, volunteered 200+ hrs, and will hopefully have research lined up for the summer. I'm confident in my LOR, EC's etc.
Can any of you help me with my list? I'm planning on going military (the HPSP scholarship), so cost isn't a factor. Location is a factor for me--I want a school where I know my family will be happy. I'd love to go to anywhere Florida (I lived there for 10 years, but I'm worried they won't consider me due to my TX residency).
Are there schools who are more "lenient" toward students on the low-end of PS? As of right now, I'm only looking at MD schools.
Here's my current long list:
Florida:
1). Central Florida
2). FIU-Wertheim
3). Florida Atlantic-Schmidt
4). Miami-Miller
5). USF-Morsani
California:
6). Loma Linda
Illinois:
7). Rush Medical College
8). University of Illinois
9). Chicago Medical School at Rosalind
10). Loyola University
Louisiana:
11). LSU New Orleans
North Carolina:
12). Wake Forest
13). University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
South Carolina:
14). Medical University of S. Carolina
15). University of South Carolina
16). University of South Carolina (Greenville)
Texas
17). Texas Tech Paul Foster
18). UT San Antonio
19). UTMB
20). UT Houston
21). UT Southwestern
Virginia:
22). Eastern Virginia
23). Virginia Commonwealth
Rhode Island:
24). Brown
Alabama:
25). Alabama
26). South Alabama
Washington
27). University of Washington
