I don't think so. Efle has done a really good chart that compares the old MCAT with the new percentiles. The chart is in the premed forum. It looks like your 40 percentile is around a 23. That would be lethal for MD and not much better for DO. Go check out his chart. It was a lot of work I'm sure.
 
32% Bio.

Chances zero. Ditto for DO schools. I'd reject you before entering the interview room. Didn't learn anything in undergrad?

If you can do that well in verbal chances are you can do alot better than 32nd percentile for the science sections. Change your approach.

If you really are struggling to get above 32nd percentile that makes all those 4.0's rather hollow to say the least.
