Should I retest?

Have you tried DO schools?

Depends on where you want to go. I hear med schools put a lot of weight on the verbal score, so you should be able to get in somewhere with those scores.

 

drdrtoledo,

A 28 isn't bad! It's well above average and in the range of people who get accepted. I think your GPA will hurt you more than your MCAT. A better score might have off set it, or it might make adcom's think you don't apply yourself. Who knows.

That said, do you think you can do better in the sciences?

My experience -- people either get verbal or they don't. If you get it (which an 11 indicates) you will probably do well on it if you took it again.

good luck

Hey my 2 cents are: It depends on what the composition of your GPA is. If it is because you screwed around as a Freshmen and eventually found your calling and did well, then a low GPA won't hurt you. THe pooint is they have to see if you can do the work, if you made a 2.0 in year 1, in music appretiation and such, and then in your 2 or 3 year really acceled when you got into organic and upper bio classes, then I wouldn't worry about. But another thing is, if I had your score, I'd be jumpin for joy!
