I've been taking a bunch of practice mcats and really studying hard.
I'm graduating this fall and I am a biology major with decent extracurriculars (ton of time like over a thousand hours working with a cosmetic dentist, two retail jobs, tons of website work and a decent amount of researching for a non-profit group that is helping introduce new technology in india, places in africa, and help with food supplies. I also have a dead end research position right now in my major where I might get published and some misc non-profit work) and should have a 3.60-3.62 when I graduate this fall (3.62 if I get all As, 3.60 if anything else). I'm taking my mcat this january and on the latest practice tests i've scored a 30 and a 31 on 9r [ 11/11/9] (the last one would have been a 32 or 33 if i didnt take it at 7pm at night.). If I get a 30 on the real mcat am I competitive for average medical schools and D.O schools?
I really dont want to take the mcat more than once if I get a 30 because i have a year off and am just going to chill, am i competitive? I'd love to stay in california for medical school as well, is that possible with such a score? If not that's fine i'd just be happy in a decent non-carribean med school.
