got my MCAT's back, and did really low.
5 on V, 9 on P, and 7 B, and Q writing, the verbal section, well, i'm not a native speaker, but I guess, I can write a little after all. Anyhow. I'm really nervous, I feel like, I can get into any school. In terms of GPA, I have 3.9 from one of the really really hard CA schools (not that the level of hardness matters). I am going to have two publications, and a Masters in Neuroscience, and I have volunteered for about 240 in a program, and also, i'm going to get a letter from a D.O that I have shadowed for one compelete summer. I did work as a Emergency Tech for a while, but anyhow, I don't know why I did so ****ty on my MCAT's, but what can I do. Please, in all honesty tell me if I have a chance with any school, and if I do name them, and let me know what I have to do.
Thanks a lot 🙁

hi bunney bear, don't loose hope. however, you may want to seriously consider retaking the mcat. based on your gpa, you are capable of much more. it may be less disheartening to retake the mcat and improve your score, thereby making yourself more competitive, and increasing your chance of getting in, than to apply and get rejected. if medicine is your passion, what is one extra year? just my two cents, but best of good-luck and don't give up.
