I graduated from school 2 years ago and then that summer I first took the MCAT and got a 27Q and then I retook it the following April and got a 26Q...not fun. I studied hard one more time, but nerves took over and I still got a 26R (though each time one of the points that I took away from one score got added to another...) my highest composite is 28R ...in any case I'm worried at how shabby this looks. I would never have retaken the exam had I not been scoring in the low 30's during practice exams, and I took Kaplan! I took two years off doing research during this time and have published a paper, and presented abstracts and work as a volunteer in a free health clinic. I have an overal gpa of 3.4 because of lesser than great freshman year grades, and a science gpa of 3.31 and AO of 3.49. i have heard of success stories...but it's hard to believe in them right now...any advice/input would be greatly appreciated. I am also only interested in applying to allopathic schools right now...
