deciding between these 2 programs...

i read up on most of the related sdn posts and school websites. i'm from CA so i'd be paying OOS tuition either way- i'd just be a lot more at EVMS. i'm leaning towards EVMS but it seems like most MM students apply during the same yr and my mcat is sub30... so i don't know if i'd get into the med school even if i do really well in the program. i'd have a gap year if i do the program at tulane, but (w/ a better mcat retake) my chances for admission to an MD school might be higher... also, tulane seems to get its students into a wider range of med schools, while EVMS MMs pretty much stay at EVMS. that's not a bad thing, but i'm hoping to return to a CA school (although i know it's a long shot)... any thoughts?

CA sucks is my opinion.

What is your...
1. GPA
2. MCAT
3. Undergraduate school and major
4. Research experience
?
 
Do you have enough time to take the MCAT before your program starts? Might be a good way to avoid a gap year. If EVMS starts in August, you have about 2.5-3 months, right?
