Members don't see this ad.

I was just wondering what should I do.

Here are my stats: GPA 3.67 (3.5 yrs of undergrad so far)
or 3.77(taking 2nd and 3rd year)

Now I did the MCAT on during my second year and got 8 VS, 9 PS, 10 BS and I think Q on written (forgot but somehwere therE)... anyways, I am studying again for the MCAT but I really don't know if my scores can improve much...

My question is mostly this. I am a Canadian Citizen, and really to get into an Ontario school is like being a lottery winner even if you have amazing grades, all the volunteer work and awsome MCATS (I mean 4800 applicats for 100 position to McMaster this year... ) So I am trying to see what I need to get into an American School.... money is not a huge deal I will just take a loan, but the main thing is what kind of MCAT scores do I need and what schools will not punish me for being a CND citizen....

ANy help will be appreciated.

Generally speaking, an out of state applicant need better than 30 to be competitive. Reading a lot will improve your score. The test is not all about memorization, but how you think and problem solve. Hope things work out for you.

You should look up the schools sites for information on international students. I know that for some of the top US schools you generally want a very high MCAT and GPA to be considered. Otherwise, most US schools would be interested since you'd be paying higher tuition than their in-state applicants so financially its better for them.
