Hello everyone,

I just received my MCAT score today: 127/124/129/129 (509 total.) With my CARS inconsistency, should I continue to apply this cycle? Currently, my application is "ready for review," and I've started prewriting secondaries.

Additional information: 3.64 cGPA and 3.55 sGPA with a slight upward trend; first generation college graduate from a working class family; white male; well-balanced extracurriculars, including 2000+ patient contact hours, one year of biomedical research (started on one project and ended the year on three projects) w/ possibility of future publication, and 300 volunteer hours w/ disadvantaged populations. Honest thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply, and I will!

I live in Wisconsin, and I was planning on applying exclusively to MD...

Washington U is a far reach and SUNY Upstate accepts very few non residents (only 7 two years ago). You could add these schools:
Vermont
Jefferson
Georgetown
St. Louis
Creighton
Tulane

Yeah.. point taken on Wash U, and I must have read the MSAR matriculant data on SUNY upstate wrong. I like the other schools you've suggested. Thanks Faha!
