Hi all,,

3.0 student athlete spent 7 years in undergrad coursework. 5 year full time then graduates, 2 years part time classes + working a job.

Textbook publication. Hospital job currently (+ part time waitering), 1000 hours of clinical (inpt. outpatient surgical / clinical research) experience.

Took MCAT got 501 : 128, 124, 125, 124 (idk how tf i got 124 in psych, total fluke imo)

Applying for MS programs. Looking to save cash though.

Do you think if I got a 3.8-4.0 in MS; DO / low-tier MD could get in without re-taking? Or should I shoot for a re-take after first year of MS of biomedical science?

What programs would you recommend for biomed? I'm a NJ resident, not looking to spend a ton of cash but do want to spend that time getting move mentally involved in neurosciences.
