I know there are kind of a couple posts about this already, but I don't see any about what to do with a low physical science score in this forum...(hope this isn't an annoying post)
My stats are cGPA 3.8 sGPA 3.7 from a liberal arts school with a BS in Bio
I scored a 25 MCAT B 9, V 9, P 7 (boo, but definitely what I expected given my practice tests...never scored higher than 7 on P)
I am NOT re-taking this test...no way! I studied hard and frankly I don't want to waste the time because at best I think I could score a 27 probably with a 9-10-8 spread. I just suck at inorganic chemistry (physics and o. chem and biochem are all no problem).
I am not planning on going Caribbean or DO just because my score is low so my question is really two things,
1. How can I, with a couple years off, improve my chances, and...
2. What MD schools will even look at me with this kind of MCAT? (Washington Resident)
Thank you so much for input!
