Greetings,
I think I have a unique background. In 2009, I graduated with a 3.69 GPA in a combined BS/MD program (i.e. NEOUCOM). I took the MCAT in Jan 2009 (7 PS, 10 V, 11 BS). However, I really wasn't sure I was called to be a doctor, and went to a Catholic seminary. Three years later, and I have an MA in philosophy, and am interested in applying again. I was able to pick up a ton of unique experiences in ministry (like being able to regularly visit inmates at a maximum security prison), but didn't get any research experience in pre-med.
So the big questions, if I would take the MCAT in September, and get the app in as soon as possible, would I be too late? (I see the Marian University takes four year MCATs, so that's an option). Also, what do people do about references in this case? My professors in college don't remember me, nor would any of my academic advisors?
So basically I have a lot of questions, and don't know where to go from here.
