P.S. Took me 4 attempts to do well in organic chemistry (F, F, C-, A).
ECs:
500 hours of hospital volunteering
150 hours of non-hospital volunteering
I'm in my last semester of undergrad. I took the new mcat, doing fairely well on practice exams (avg~505) but wasn't feeling well on my test day (should have voided). Anyways, I'm not quite sure if I have a chance at any MD or DO schools (probably not the new ones either). I'm considering retaking the mcat but not sure how a 3rd attempt would look (is it even worth it if I was able to get around a 505?). Maybe I should consider applying to the Caribbean; I'm familiar with all the advice against it but it might be the only way I'll be able to follow the path towards medicine. Any advice would be appreciated.
