Hi guys,
Im a reapplicant, i applied last year (sept 1st, i dont know what i was thinking!) after taking the aug 2004 Mcat. I didnt get a good score so i was obviously rejected from most of the schools and i did not turn in any secondaries to any of the schools. Im graduating in June and since last time , these are the changes in my application:

1) GPA probably risen a point higher, (3.4)
2) Did clinical research in Ovarian Cancer, pending publication
3) Will be interning at UCLA Medical Center for the whole of next year at the same doctor who i have done research under.

My question is, I dont feel there has been a drastic change in my application other than the above and me retaking the Mcats last week. Im worried about my GPA and my Mcat. I dont think i would be able to do a post Bacc....
I will try to apply ASAP, probably by the end of june.
I would like some feedback on if the above seems sufficient to reapply?

Thanks

i'm curious as to why you can't apply for postbacc programs now?? it should be pretty easy since you've applied to medical schools before so i'm assuming that you have your letters of rec available.

i'm basically in the same boat as you except i have NOTHING to add to reapply except for a new mcat score. i'll have my amcas ready and wait until my scores come out and then decide to submit the app.

you might as well apply and see what happens.... 👍

the reason i cant apply for a post Bacc is because if i do that next year, i will have to apply in 2006 so that i have a significant boost in my GPA. but i CANNOT wait that long and i really wanna apply in 2005. Thanks for the encouragement and gud luck!
