Hi everyone,
I just got my MCAT score, and it was very close to what I predicted (but not expected): V 6, P 11, B 9, N. Do you think that I could get accepted anywhere with that 6 in verbal? I posted my stats before, but to refresh your memory, I am a senior, chemistry major. I had two years of undergrad research and one year of doing health realted work. My extracurricular activities includes being a president of some club at my university. Oh, my GPA is decent, I guess, 4.0.
My disadvantages are:
1. I speak English as a second language and I have not been in the US for a long time.
2. I took the August MCAT, so my applications were not completed early.
3. I made a stupid mistake by assuming that the MCAT service, after charging a huge amount of money they should automatically send my score to the AMCOMAS ... apparently, they don't, so I just faxed a request to them last Friday to release my score to AMCOMAS. It probably takes a while before my score reaches the medical schools. I'm sitting on fire right now. Any suggestions for me?
I'm applying to UMDNJ-SOM, PCOM, Lake Erie, WHS-PSOM, Touro and NY-SOM. Touro has not sent me the secondary yet 'cause they need my MCAT score. To all of you that have been accepted somewhere... congratulations!!! Any tips for me so I could get in as well?
Also, can anyone give me a tip on how to get a recommendation from a D.O.? I don't know any D.O., and I have been squeezing my brain out but still can't come up with a good way to approach a D.O. for a rec. Please help.
(A personal note to Miglo. Hey dude thanks for responding to my previous message. I noticed your last name on line before and kind of expected that you would be the first who responded to my post. You did. Hey congratulation on your acceptance. You make me proud. If I get accepted to WHS, it will be my first choice. I hope to see you there.)
