Hey everybody, new here on SD forum so this is my first post. I received notice that I was granted an interview at NYCOM today via email... I'm concerned about my MCAT which is a 24. I'm retaking it at the end of January but was hoping I may still be in the running despite the low score if my other stats were considered... I have a 3.7c and 3.83s GPA. I've been a NJ EMT for 5 years, the Lieutenant of my volunteer first aid squad, work as an EMT in Atlantic City, have shadowing experience (OMM, trauma surgery, cardiology) and have a first author paper published in Behavioral Brain Research. I was interviewed at UMDNJ-SOM and waitlisted so I'm very discouraged, hopefully my interview at NYCOM is another chance for me. Just wanted to know some people's thoughts regarding my acceptance with such a sub par MCAT. (I'm very frustrated about this as I've spent time preparing but just cannot seem to do well on this test. And I've watched as friends who worked a lot less hard in undergrad and earned GPAs of 3.3 or 3.4 walk right into med school because of their MCAT was slightly higher than mine while all my hard work in college seems to have fallen by the wayside).
