Greetings, I am unsure of what to do at this point in time and have come here to seek some guidance.
I am from Canada and my stats are as follows:
BSc:Biology graduate w/ cGPA: 3.6, sGPA: 3.8.
MCAT: 2012 - 10/08/10/O - 28O | 2013 - 10/05/10 - 25 | 10/2014 - 10/06/10 - 26 | 12/2014 - 12/03/11 - 26*
* I have sent a request to have my exam rescored due to my verbal score, but it is unlikely to change.
Consider my extracurricular activities well above average.
I have applied very early on in June to the MD and DO schools. I have been rejected by most MD schools and have not heard back from the rest but do not expect an invite. A couple DO schools have rejected my application but the others have mailed me claiming to have me on hold. I will be calling them tomorrow to figure out where I am in their process, but given light of my recent scores, I do not expect an interview invite.
I am unsure of what to do now. My heart is still in medicine but verbal seems to be my only leash from getting to it. I am quite tired of writing the MCAT over and over again. This is my second time applying for MD, first for DO. I've done practice tests** prior to writing and consistently scored around 7-8. I was getting <7 at the start of practice but eventually caught onto my mistakes.
**1/2 Gold standard for 2012, 1/2 Gold standard for 2013, AAMC/TPR - 2014x2 [never redid any test]
Should I stop pursuing medicine and consider other alternatives, atleast I can say I gave it my all.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
