So. I do not have any sort of decent MCAT. In fact, I got a 25 (PS 6, VR 10, BS 9). Although I could clearly improve on the sections other than PS...my PS score is clearly lacking (I just cannot grasp physics...my college professor had a heavy Romanian accent that no one could follow)! I did take a Kaplan course, and although I was scoring consistently around 27 range (my goal was at least a 30), my last full length before my MCAT was a 34. I'm relatively discouraged, but plan on retaking regardless. The point is, I have a 25 as an MCAT score. My GPA has an extremely upward trend, due to extenuating circumstances:
BCPM: Freshman: 2.36
Sophomore: 3.46
Junior: 3.21
Senior: 3.81
Overall: 3.26
AO: Freshman: 3.28
Sophomore: 3.14
Junior: 4.00
Senior: 3.75
Overall: 3.52
Cumulative: Freshman: 2.76
Sophomore: 3.33
Junior: 3.47
Senior: 3.79
Overall: 3.36
My main question...although I've read the overall consensus on other posts...is have you heard of anyone getting into an allopathic med school with excellent EC's (including volunteer mission trips abroad, internships dealing in the underserved communities, etc.) and an excellent personal statement? I am a caucasian female but claimed disadvantaged for good reasons. Finished applications to Cooper Medical School, Drexel, Toledo, Temple, Wright State, Drexel, and IU. Any advice as to SMP programs, previous experiences with these schools or other schools and my chances is welcome! I already know that I need to take the MCAT again, I am much more capable than a 25.
