Hello Med students,
I am writing because I need advice, and I guess support from students that have already been through the whole medical school application process. I am applying for August 2002. I applied to 15 schools and so far have 4 rejections, and am on hold at 1 school. It seems as though I am going to be applying again next year. My GPA now is 3.5, and I have all the clinicals, leaderships and ECs in the world. The one thing however that I'm pretty sure is holding me back is my MCAT score, 26, 10B 9P 7V Q writing. That was my score the second time. The first time I took it, I was extremly sick and did not release my scores, it was a 19. I have already applied to and been accepted into a 1 year Masters program in chemistry, so I know what I'll be doing next year if med school doesnt work out. I would just like some advice on what I else I should do to increase my chances of getting in next year aside from applying really early, and retaking the dreaded MCAT.
