Well, from my screen name you can tell that I attended a fairly large undergrad school. I graduated with a decent gpa (3.63) in biochem. and did research for over 2 years. I have extracurrics. and good rec. letters so I don't think that will be a problem. I know that coming from a "party school" will put me at a disadvantage to someone witht the same stats from an Ivy or other top school. I got a 33 on the MCAT (9v, 12ps, 12bs, R) and while the 9 is nothing impressive I think my other scores are strong. Will this score give my gpa and ability to succeed in med. more validity or will I be hurt by the school I attended despite my MCAT score? I am confident in what I know and have no regrets or shame about going to a big school but I also want to be given a fair shot in the admissions game. Thanks.
