My GRE revised scores were released today. They are on that new point scale so I don't know what to make of my actual scores, but my percentile scores were:
Verbal: 69%
Quant: 65%
Writing: 72%
My SAT percentiles from 2005 were:
Reading: 68%
Math: 52%
Writing: 72%
With the exception of math, my scores were consistent so I don't see the point in retaking. I hoped I could at least break 75%. If I had not already asked my references for letters, I would not send in my applications. I studied hard for the GRE and this proves to me that I will not be able to handle the MCAT, and I'm sure the schools will believe so too.
However, I still want to work in healthcare and I am open to the idea of PA or NP school, and they seem more realistic for my abilities. These post-bacc programs would give me the pre-reqs and the clinical hour opportunities to get into these programs. So what do you think? Should I still send in my applications (which are nearly finished)? Or should I save myself the application fees and not bother?
If I do send them in, should I discuss my willingness to consider other positions besides physician?
