thanks for the support, good luck! But i really dont want to be a reapplicant if I dont get in. Basically I only want to apply once. The process is so tedious! Plus I cant stand the MCAT lol i realize that a 26 is not the end of the world, but is the 7 in verbal going to kill me?

Average stats for 2010 entering DO students were 3.47/26.49. I doubt the VS will hold you back.

Don't know if its a good idea to apply, since my mcat is below their 10th percentile.

true that, but according to the mcat/gpa table we have about a 15 percent acceptance rate, ill take it. im applying just for the hell of it.
