i posted this before but i really need people's opinions and hopefully words of encouragement...

im really nervous...this is my second time applying..im currently finishing my masters this semester in biochemistry..i finished my undergrad last year and i was in the accelerated MS/BS program..i have also done previous research in the lab on NO and currently on hydrogels and their drug effects..i tutor in sciences..last year I taught general chemistry labs and this year i am teaching organic chemistry labs at GMU. i've also done volunteering in the E.R and clinical settings.. i had a 3.4 undergrad gpa and a 3.5 grad gpa...my pcat scores last year were about in the 60-70 percentile although i got mid 70's to 80's on my bio, science and math...do i stand any chance of getting in anywhere this year....im really nervous cause i know my pcats aren't that great but I'm hoping having a masters degree and all the lab and teaching experience will help...

By all means go for it! The sooner you apply, the better odds you have. Your stats are average, but they should be good enough to get you several interviews. If you can really shine at the interview, then you definitely stand a chance =) Like above, I would see if you could improve the PCAT score to improve your chances, but i've heard of people getting accepted with a 60-70 before.
