I am an immigrant, learned English at the age of 16. I have a degree in Biology (finished in 3 years) from a state university and currently pursuing MPH (master’s in public health GPA 3.6, no science courses).
MCAT scores 121/122/123/123
I was thinking about retaking it this August but I don't have the will to study again RN. I studied for 5 month the first time. I took the Princeton Review course, did 4 practice exams and scored 489 on the official MCAT.
I am currently working full time (clinical research assistant) and taking classes toward my masters. I have a lot of experience working in the ER (2000 h), doctors office (>2000 h), research, a publication under review, volunteering (200 h), coordinated a free clinic (500 h), and other non-health related volunteer. (>200 h)
My parents are pushing me because my cousins who were born here got accepted right away. So they want me to retake the MCAT and apply this cycle. I feel like I am not ready to go through this again.
I really want to go to medical school and if I do anything else I will regret it for the rest of my life. I am 22, I have time now to try again.
