I really don't know how to plan my life right now and am hoping for some advice. I was very depressed to get my mcat back and to see a score of 22 8/7/7 when my average was a 28. To make things worse I work a 50+ hour job and don't think I could squeeze a successful retake this cycle. I have already sent primaries out to ACOM, SOMA, KYCOM and VCOM, should I bother to return the secondaries? I'm desperate to get into any school this cycle as I have a baby girl to care for and don't want another year of limbo. My s/cGPA 3.4 (but erratic, my gen chem/bio gpa is 3.9 but C's in orgo and a couple gen ed's) and I have great ECs (research, clinical, leadership). my main questions are:
Is the mcat just too low or should I send secondaries anyway?
Should I pursue an SMP/masters program? If so, which smp would best help me get into a DO program?
