My gpa isn't the greatest, my last semester at school I was taking the maximum load with four jobs on top and so I got a bad grade in one class and my gpa suffered for that. I took the mcat last year without much prep and got a 29(08/11/10), so I thought I'd take it again and I did so on May 31th, but I got a 27(08/10/09). I don't know what happened, I definitely prepped more, focused on PS since it was my lowest score, and my practice tests were around 31-33. How will going down affect my chances? With my gpa and MCAT lower tier should I apply this year? Is taking the MCAT a third time too much? I have my personal statement near done, and everything else from LORs and transcripts are submitted so should I just go ahead and use this as a trial run? Another mark on my application is little shadow/ clinic experience. I was supposed to have more but met with an accident that left me immobile for a many months and by the time I healed it's application season and I can only convey any experience I gain after applying at interviews, if I get any...
Honestly, I would be happiest at UIC (I'm IS btw), is that a stretch with my stats as they are now, or do I have a chance? Thanks for helping me out.
