    High GPA, low MCAT DO school advice

    So my highest MCAT is 500 (123 c/p, 124 bio, 125 cars, 128 psych/soc). I did not study much for it and I made a huge mistake retaking the MCAT 3 weeks after this before getting my 500 score back bc I thought I did terrible the first time and wouldn't be able to retake again before the end of...

    8/2015 MCAT Too old?

    I took the MCAT on 8/21/2015. So far this cycle I have only made it to the waitlist of 2 MD schools. I believe that the reason I have only been waitlisted is more related to GPA / Experiences than my MCAT score. As a result, I would prefer to not have to take the MCAT again. I know the rule...
