Hello, I am 21 and i graduated in may with a Bachelors in biochemistry ( i was taking summer classes up until august). my gpa was 3.56 and i took the mcat for the first time in november 2014, got 18 , i took it again in august and got 491 which is still horrible. However i had already sent my applications for a couple of DO schools.
Now, i have been looking at threads here for a couple of weeks and realised my mcat score probably won't get me anywhere. (i have not yet been verified on aacomas). I went back to my parent's house since i couldnt pay rent, now i am looking for a job at several laboratories. I am confused as to what to do next, i anticipated a year off but now it's looking more like two.
Should i retake my mcat next year and apply again next cycle? Apply for SMP or postbacc? Or maybe take further biology classes at a Community college?
I was thinking of taking mcat classes to help me study better. if i were to take my mcat and receive scores before march next year, could i still send an updated mcat score ( i already sent out the 491 i got )to DO programs or will that be too late?
I really do not know what to do at this point and i feel like nothing is working the way i planned it. I just need a plan that i can dedicate myself to but so far i'm overwhelmed with different ideas and do not know what is the best way for my situation.
