so i have a question, not necessarily loyola related: this is my second time applying: very high gpa (3.9 a/o, 3.7 bcpm, 3.8 cum), 4 years research, 1 year clinical research, shadowed to orthopedic surgeons, very strong recs (1 from MD 3 from professors/mentors), executive board of 3 culture clubs...and a 28 MCAT...and that has held me back...that one MCAT score has held me back from benifiting from my 4 years of constant motivation and work...it could very well just be my resentment, but does anyone else out there feel like the whole medical school admission process seems to be centerred around the MCAT...it seems that the MCAT, in the end, becomes the sole factor in determining one's eligibility for medical school, no matter what else you have...i put this on the loyola thread because im very interested in loyola and have been following htis thread, so even though you guys have never heard from me, i feel at home when i write on this thread 🙂
