Ok i know there are a ton of posts about similar topics, but I just want to you get your guys' opinion on my chances of getting in. i currently have taken all prereqs except physics and have done ok but not very exceptional (B's in all). I know I'm really average, so what can I do to stand out? I'm taking the DATs this December but I'm a bad test-taker so I can't bank on a really exceptional score. Also, I don't personally know any of science professors which could be bad for recommendations... should I take more science (I'm a sociology major)...

Thanks!

Some of the things you can do to standout is get involved in research and try to get published, and also u can do a mission trip, and u gota get recommendation one way or the other so if you do get published from research u'll get a good one from ur research professor. And u can take higher level science classes like microbiology, eukaryotic cell structures or whatever and get at least B+'s.
