Chances of staying in California?

Still have a year to go, so anywhere that I can improve on, retake mcat, etc please let me know, thanks!

for cali retaking the mcat is definitely something to consider if you think you can improve for a better shot esp with the lower verbal.
I had several friends with near 4.0 but less than 33 mcat who ended up outside cali. don't take it the wrong way your stats are fantastic (much better than me haha) but there's no guarantee so it'll be good to be open minded. it'll end up costing more if you have to reapply.
