What would you do if you were me? I will be applying for the '08 cycle coming up in a few months I have everything together I just really really need advice on what to do as far as improving my application and possibly retaking mcat, any help is greatly appreciated.
My Stats
3.6 GPA, with pretty much straight a's last 3 semesters, Science GPA is a lil higher.
80 hours clinical experience, volunteering in ER. ICU, shadowing child neurologist.
Racquetball club -Wow, stellar on an app I know.
Several different kinds of work experience, ie: waiter.
Quality LOR's
Asthma research at school, currently in 2nd semester, will continue for 8 more months and consider honors thesis.
*32M Mcat, heres the problem im worried about, 13BS 11PS *8VR M, I think this 8 might be trouble.
I am positive I can get a 10 in VR, POSITIVE, I might lose that 13 though, anyway I dont want to wait until next march to get rejected and then decide to retake MCAT, I wanna try to get an idea if I should just retake now to have it ready for the 09 application cycle if I dont get in. Does anybody feel one way or the other about my stats and If i'll have a chance. I live in Colorado and would love to stay instate if possible.
Please be stone cold honest with me if you have an opinion, I'd really like to know, I've asked my premed advisors and it's easier to pull teeth than get a straight answer out of them.
