i have several things to mention.
1) although my overall score is 30Q with 3.57 gpa, my verbal score is 6 (i got 7 when i took it the first time). i was wondering if i could take some sort of english writing or literature class this fall to sort of make up for my verbal score.
i already graduated, so i'm not sure how I should go about taking these classes (should i just take them in a local univ. or community college?). Do you think this would do any good in terms of my application credentials.
2) I can't really do anything about my MCAT score, but i can still work on my gpa... should I take some upper level science classes this fall to sort of improve my gpa? does this new gpa go to my cumulative gpa from undergrad? or it would be categorized under grad school gpa?
3) i'm already working full-time in a research institution .. i also volunteer 4 hours per week in a local hospital but no one seems to really care about volunteering in hospital..which kinda makes sense.. there are some high school students who volunteer with me in the same position. is any of you doing any other type of community service/volunteering which is fun and useful?
thanks
