- 508 MCAT taken Sept 2016---- should I retake? do I need a higher score? can i get my GPA up in 3 years to still use this score?
I was immature in college and didn't take it seriously, half way through I changed from bio to public health since I was not doing well. I have C and Ds in most of my bio and chem classes. Labs are all B range, and Math B and Cs.
I've been working in the public health field now for almost 3 years, I have been a clinical research coordinator in oncology for the past year, started shadowing physicians, took my MCAT and would like to try again. I know MD is out of the mix, so I was wondering what I would have to do to get my application ready for a DO school?
Would I have to retake all the classes again, kind of like a second BS? Is a mixture of community college, UC, and state schools ok? Ideally the cheaper it could be the better, but if its best to do UC than I would invest the money. Time is not an issue, since I plan on working and studying and my schedule is flexible. But best case scenario under that 3 year mark so the MCAT I took still stands.
