I did my first MCAT last summer when I just finished my sophomore year working full time at NIH reserch lab. I only have 3 weeks review before taking the test. I got a 37S (12,12,13), which I am not satisfied with. If I do it again with some preparations this summer, I could most likely get a 38-40.
I am from a HYP undergraduate school with a school-wide grade deflation policy. GPA 3.87, Science GPA 3.91, top 5%. Two NIH 2nd author publications, two plus years NIH related researches. Meaningful school and humanitarian activities.
I am for 2010 top tier MD/PhD programs. Many might say that I am crazy to retest a 37S mcat, but others think if you have a 39 MCAT it will be much better. It is difficult to decide. My only concern is not to let the programs think I am obsessed by the numbers.
Your experiences with those programs and analytical opinions will be much appreciated.
