Hi all,
Yes, it's another "am I good enough" post for MD/Phd stuff. I hate to engage in the practice of stat posting in the hopes of reassurance, but at this time, it would be helpful to me in deciding whether or not to retake the MCAT.

MCAT: 34R (11 PS, 11 VR, 12 BS)
GPA: 3.73 Neuroscience; Chemistry degree completed in May 2004
School: Small Northeastern liberal arts college known for premed program that has all of my money
Research Experience: Will have two years of research completed by May 2004 in the same Neuroscience lab
Publications: Will have 1 by May 2004 (Visual Neuroscience)

So I'm wondering where I will have a shot...UPenn would be a dream based on the quality of the program. Thanks to all for humoring another neurotic premed.

Quite simply, yes.

Don't retake the MCAT, instead, concentrate on your personal statement and your research.

Surge is right on. I just wanted to add that if you want to talk more specifically about Penn sometime, give me a PM or an AIM sometime and we can chat.

Good luck!

Thanks! I appreciate the helpful advice, and the offer. I'll try to contact you via AIM at SN Neuronix?

Thanks again,
