How do you get high scores in PS? It's like whenever I do mine and feel like I know the material I do some problems and screw up majorly. Mechanics hates me
 
@serenade my PS score is a product of my tough as hell physics classes and gen chem classes at my university, lol at least something came from that XD

    :O A 7 verbal will not keep you out of DO schools, unless you are applying to MD.

    ALL DO schools will love the 12's in PS and BS.

IMO we should have a cut off, one of the following gives you UD status:

  • cGPA <3.2
  • sGPA <3.2
  • MCAT <25
  • Canadian/International
  • IA
 
The individual school boards have been made for 2014-2015. Yippee!
 
Good, my stupid MCAT groups me with you wonderful, down to earth people. All the best. /coxinthehouse

Yes, they removed the WS. But largely current mcat has not significantly changed since it became computerized about a decade ago. The WS honestly was just the section people took naps during.

No one really cared about the WS anyway.

I barely tried the first time I took it and got an R. If I had practiced I would have gotten an S or T.

If you wanna share your stats, there is a spreadsheet link on the 2014-2015 applicant stats thread where you can do so, without underdog rules.

Underdog here for sure!

Well over 2000 hours volunteer work, including overseas medial missions.
Excellent LORs including physician on the admissions board for Wayne State School of Medicine.
I have worked as a medical Scribe for almost 3 years (excellent experience)

MCAT taken 2012 22 =V9PS6BS7 Retaking 6/13/14 averaging 28 on AAMC tests

Any suggestions?
Thanks! and good luck all!!

Just to give you some confidence, I have a very good friend who bombed undergrad, took a couple years off, went back, did about as well as you in his masters, killed the MCAT and is now at UNC (arguably one of the best med schools in the country). So good luck man, really play to the strength of your story and growth, I think it really really helped my friend.

You're going to want to do grade replacement to get the sGPA above 3.0. And hope you hit your MCAT average! MPH grades won't help much, but its good they are decent.

You said version. The removal of a section does not alter the version. Sorry, you are the weakest link, good bye.

An MPH is what I would call a very strong EC. It won't likely bring you a lot of interviews, but it'll bring you attention at the interview.
