Have you thought of doing an MCAT prep course, like Kaplan? Bringing you MCAT up may be enough - sounds like you got a really great application otherwise!
Search at www.aamc.org for post-bac programs/special masters programs - there you can find one that you like! Ones that I can think of: U of Cinnci, BU, Drexel, Loyola, Tulane, Georgetown, (or is it GW...I don't remember). There are many more!
Good luck!

your gpa's pretty damn good. is your science gpa around the same? because if it is, you don't even need to do a post-bacc, just re-do the mcat (spend a couple of months dedicated to studying for it) and get above 30.

Here's a link to my heavily opinionated "how to dramatically improve your English" post: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?p=4563171#post4563171
The rest of the thread has good info about improving MCAT verbal.

I dont think you need to go through a postbac record. All you will need to do is improve your MCAT, namely your verbal score and your bio score (apparently a low bio score can kill your chances at many places given that US News & Report weigh in a school's average BS score in- thus schools, knowing this, will probably want students' bio scores to be on par). I agree with the above posters, take a prep course and invest in some practice tests. Check the MCAT forum out there, they have plenty of good resources on doing just that. Good luck!

My science GPA is 3.52, i did better in my chemistry courses than biology courses (more B's than A's). I graduated with a biochemistry degree. so u guys think i should take the MCAT again, and improve the bio section, and possibly the verbal section as well. I was thinking about doing certificate in physiology or something like that to prove my ability in biology courses. But i guess GPA is not my primary concern right now, it is my MCAT score. I just had a carribean interview, but i am not sure about getting my education there. Also, one more year out of school seems like a long time. Thank you very much everyone for your responses.
