Anyone with a "6" on Verbal get into a DO school?

I have heard of people who have gotten in with a 6 in VR. I have also heard of people who were not accepted with total scores greater than 30. Most of the sub 7 VR people that I've heard of who were accepted were not native speakers of English.

Here's hope for you- I received 6 interview invites, 4 acceptances, and one rejection with a 5 in verbal. And yes, English is my native language. Of course I was asked about it on every interview but in the end I was accepted to my first choice school.

Being through this process the best advice I can give you is to make sure the rest of your app is SUPER strong-especially your personal statement and LOR's. And APPLY EARLY!!!

Good luck! you can do it

My score went from an 8 in verbal to double digits after a few months of test prep. My advice would be to apply and do everything you can in the application to give yourself an advantage (i.e. apply early, stock up on volunteer work at a hospital, etc.), and keep studying for the MCAT. It's hard work, but you can go up a few to at least 8. Take it for what it's worth to you. A higher MCAT score instantly boosts your application and schools tend to be a little more generous to reapplicants, so you would have both a higher score and sympathy the next time around if you're rejected. This way, you can hope for the best, expect the worst, and prepare yourself for everything.

Good luck to you.
