1. Is it too late to apply for this year in August (meaning entering class of 2008) if you have not even started studying for the MCAT yet?? (hoping to take it in mid-August-will be taking a review course)
2. Also, do I have a chance with an overall GPA of 3.3ish and post-undergraduate work (mostly prereqs.) of 3.75. I think combined with all of my schooling my BCP works out to 3.2...
3. Also, I applied and was accepted into Optometry School for this year and know if I decline (since deferring is not an option) I will not have this opportunity again. I know now that I have made a mistake and chose this field for the wrong reasons. I truthfully would like to go to medical school more than anything else. However, if I am unable to get in, this would be my next choice. I am 31 years old and really do not want to wait another 2 years to apply to medical school. I have tons of clinical experience in a hospital as my undergrad degree is in healthcare. I did fairly decent on the OAT test but had to take it twice. Would I be a fool to pass this up to try for medical school??
Thanks so much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
