It seems like you have great experiences and gpa's. That you're URM only helps. Even with a 26, I think you should get some love from at least some TX schools, maybe with the exception of Southwestern and Baylor. But personally, if I were in your shoes, I'd retake the mcat. With a 26 you have much room for improvement, and a higher score will definitely increase your chances of interviews/acceptances.

You have no where else to go but up. You have the hardest portion nailed other are easy.

Lol, I always found the VR section the easiest. I barely studied for it and I consistently got a 12. I read a lot of books, maybe that helps...?

I think what everybody means is that you can add a few points to your PS or BS section by studying up and relearning concepts, but reading comprehension...that you've been doing your whole life. It isn't easy to tell someone to do something in a different way after they've been doing it another way for 2 decades.

I bow to you. 12 in verbal is defined as god in my dictionary. impressive, I cannot break a single digit in verbal with all preparation but am comfortably double digits in sciences.

So true a useless section that proves nothing.
