[Faha]

You should receive interviews at DO schools with your MCAT and I suggest applying to all these:
ACOM
ARCOM
NYIT-Arkansas
BCOM
ICOM
UIWSOM
WCU-COM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
LUCOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
CUSOM
LECOM (all schools)
If you increase your CARS score to 125 and your overall MCAT to 508 you could receive interviews at MD schools. Post your new score here in the future.

Thank you so much, I hope to not get auto-screened with that cars. I'll try to prepare harder for CARS this time around and study psych/soc a little more and retake in either january or march.

Is there anything I could add to my application in order to improve it?

Does anyone know of any prep courses for cars?

 

[Faha]

Your EC's are good. CARS is difficult to improve if English is not your native language. Many practice questions may help and you could also improve you psych.soc score with more studying.

Thank you so much for the advice. You think I should still get interviews even with that red flag subsection?

Not with a MCAT score of 501. Concentrate on a DO application.

Sorry for so many questions,
Would I be DOA at your school or @Goro ?

Can't answer for Faha, but my Dean likes high MCATs.
I like Faha's list, but can't recommend WCU or LUCOM.

What about MSUCOM?

What about MSUCOM?

They have a strong preference for Michigan residents. Over 90% of the students are from Michigan.
