I'd say you had a shot IS but it's getting late! Get those secondaries down asap, or consider waiting union next time to apply early.

Got it; I think you'll get IIs for sure with your stats. If you feel you can/want to do better on the MCAT, go for it, but I do not think your 124 or 509 overall will preclude you from getting in somewhere.

+1.

Unless you apply to T20, MCAT may be a reason, but almost certainly not the only reason.

Funnily enough, our MCATs are almost identical - except my low score was psych.

I was worried because I’m a few points below any SUNY median MCAT especially downstate and storybook. Those two schools would be ideal. Any place on this forum where applicants report their acceptances and scores?

If you go to the "SUNY 2016-2017" threads, you could probably find a few people who were accepted posting their stats. There also is a site where people put their stats, where they applied, were accepted.. but the name escapes me! Maybe google or someone on here can provide it.
