If you combine the subscores, it would be decent...what to do?

I got a P8, V9, B10, Q (27Q) in april 2005. however, i know some med schools (MCW and Tufts for example) take the best of your subscores from previous administrations. In that case, I have a 28S. I have a 3.09 BCPM and a 3.35 overall. I know many people would say "go get a masters or post-bac" but i have decided i'm going to go abroad for med school this fall (American University of the Caribbean) while applying to med schools stateside. That way, they can see my grades from a real M.D. program and use that to evaluate me as a potential first year candidate rather than the standard BCPM classes.

Question: To what schools which combine best-of-MCAT subscores should I apply?

Are you saying you are going to the carribean and then are still going to hopefully get into a US school? Is that even possible? I really don't know, I guess I have never heard of anyone trying that, Good Luck. I think you would be better off to do a post-bacc program though if you are looking to get into us schools. Just my 2 cents. Again Good Luck

Yea...i agree with zaz. also, wouldn't it be less expensive to do a postbacc stateside?

a one point difference isn't that crucial.

how many times have you reapplied? have you met with any adcoms to review your file?

I would recommend a post-bacc as well, but it's up to you. Just realize that if you go to AUC you'll probably graduate from AUC.

I know that UT San Antonio considers the best of MCAT subscores...
