Honest opinions please!
I've already applied to a few schools but is it even worth adding more schools for this cycle? I was doing much better on practice tests for MCAt but bombed the real thing.

7/2/13: BS: 8, VR: 10, PS: 10

-- Felt the best about BS too! :(

I have great EC's with volunteering, on-campus involvement, mission work in Africa, clinical experience, student-athlete and a ton of research experience with 2 publications.

Help me out SDN. I know I shouldn't be but I'm primarily focused on M.D. programs at this point. Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you.

Is your MCAT balanced? I don't think all hope is lost for MD. Apply to all low-tiers. Which ones have you applied to already? Also, what state do you reside in?
