This is my second year in a row to try to get into medical school... and to fail. Can you guys help me to identify where in my application I am deficient, and what I should work on next time around?
MCAT: 31m (10 bio 8 phys 13 VR)
GPA: 3.91 BS in Biology
EC: Treasurer Pre-Med Club, Member Biological Honor Society, Vice President of of Hall government, Teaching assistant (1 year), Undergraduate research (1 summer semester, 1 spring semester), Regular Blood Donor
Clinical experience: 6mo volunteering in an ER, 21mo as a registration clerk in the same emergency room
Applied: University of Arkansas Medical Sciences 2 times, OU, Tulane, University of Missouri at Columbia, USUHS
I realize that I haven't really applied to a ton of schools. I just don't have the money. My parents went bankrupt when I was in college. I haven't had a "great paying" job, and I had to buy a new car right before the application season this cycle because my sister totaled the one I was going to use.
I'm considering retaking the MCAT. I only took it once, and got that score. Its been years since I took general chem or physics, but I'm hoping to do better on the physical science part this time around.
Any other suggestions?
