Greetings everyone,
I am just finishing up a post-bac (do-it-yourself type) with a 4.0 science GPA, and 3.82 overall GPA. Majored in poli-sci as an undergrad, Law School at a top ten, and then worked some at a prosecutor's office. I am doing research at Michigan's med school 3 days a week now, have some volunteering in, and will take the MCAT in April. Have not started studying for the MCAT, and am currently taking gen chem 2. However, took an AAMCAS practice. Score so far is:
MCAT - 34
Verbal- 14
Bio- 11
Phys- 9
Two questions. In 4 months, how much can I pull it up, and assuming it stays the same, where would I be competitive? I am a resident of Michigan. I have also been published in a legal journal, and it looks likely I will be published with my research position within the year (though possibly after applications are done).
Thanks again for your responses. Please let me know what I might consider doing to up my chances, and whether 4 months is enough time to improve the MCAT score (and how much it can be improved).
Best,
