I am about 1.5 years out of school and am currently working as a high school science teacher (inner city).
My stats:
cGPA: 3.7 & sGPA: 3.8
Research: Significant, 4+ years, 1+ pub (more on the way)
Clinical: 50+ hrs in a Neurology clinic
MCAT: 30 both times
State Resident: CA, but close ties to MI and CT
My biggest problem is my MCAT. I honestly didn't study for long or at my best either time and I just got really nervous during it.
I would ultimately like to end up near Ann Arbor or in CA, but am willing to apply all over. I am afraid of being screened out based on my score at almost all schools.
I am now a couple years off from those course (although I do still teach science) and I certainly am unready for the new social science sections. I don't know if I should apply as is, or retake with studying seriously for June/July/August. If I apply as is, anyone have good suggestions for schools who'll overlook low MCATs?
Any comments are deeply appreciated!
