Hi all, I'm about to finish undergrad in a forensic science major. I will have a 3.55 science GPA and a 3.64 GPA (3.78 non-science). I have an MCAT of 512 after retaking with an even 128 in all categories. I'd like advice on how to bolster my application or an honest opinion of where I stand on getting in to medical school based on the following listed below.
