Hey everyone,
I'm considering retaking the MCAT this summer because I feel like my application is very borderline (my gpa stinks) and I think I can do better now that I have a few more physiology classes under my belt. Let me know what you think. I'm trying to get into University of Maryland School of Medicine (my in-state school).
Heres my info:
-nontraditional student (I am 24 now, wasn't originally college-bound and didn't really go to high school)
-32Q (PS 11/ VR 10/ BS 11)
-3.3 science GPA
-3.35 overall GPA
-physiology/neurobiology major
-graduating with high honors from a good public university (University of Maryland, College Park)
-100 hours operating room volunteer
-10 hours physician shadowing in medically under served area
-extensive undergraduate biology research
-Tutoring/Mentoring 1st-5th graders in a Baltimore community outreach center in 7th poorest urban neighborhood in the U.S.
-In a touring band that has released several records and gone on national tours
Should I retake? I am shooting for a 34+
