So my undergrad gpa is going to be about 3.0 and my current MCAT score is a 17R....*sigh*....anywhere? It's these late night postings that really get me down....
Well you will never know until you apply. Try saba or ross.
Actually, with a 17 and no mitgating circumstances, you kind of already know.
Bro, you sound like a lawyer "MITIGATING". What do you think about Saba McGillGrad any hope with his numbers.
Definitely retake the MCAT. Shoot for about a 24 or 25. That should be enough to get you into one of the big four schools (SGU, Ross, AUC, or Saba).So my undergrad gpa is going to be about 3.0 and my current MCAT score is a 17R....*sigh*....anywhere?

im going to guess that 17 was your first attempt at the MCAT.
dont worry, most people who take it their first time usually get a score much lower than what they are capable of!
im HOPING that i fall into that category...I got a 22 my first time...now im actually studying to take the MCAT! i hope to get a high score this next time around =]
good luck to you as well!
vast majority of people to not improve much at all (1 or 2 points at best) over their first attempt.
yeah ... those are statistics... but most people study pretty well their first time and score around 25 (national average isnt it?).
not much room for improvement if you think about it.
now if you score rather poorly on your first attempt, look at all the room for improvement!
you have to think positive and realize that 98% of statistics are all made up.
why would AAMC make up statistics. Of course if someone got a 18 the first time there is much room for improvement. But seriously a 6 point improvement to a 24 still really isnt going to help you get into a US school. If you prepared well the first time the chances of someone improving by 5,6,7 points is very slim

Two Options
1) If you want to get into the U.S.-->
A) Ace a special masters program
B) Get a 35+ on the MCAT
C) Add in some quality research
Here your looking at 2-3 years (and is based on you not having any bigtime connections with a Dean or what not from the school), I don't know what you have planned in terms of family or what not
2) Go to the Caribbean (AUC, ROSS, or SGU)-->
A) Retake the MCAT and give or take a 22 MCAT and your in with a 3.0 at ROSS or AUC
B) Retake the MCAT and give or take a 25 and your in with a 3.0 at SGU (Stats based on average joe accepted student)

a 3.0 and a 25 will not get you into SGU more than likely, SGU stat averages are like a 3.4 and a 27 (higher than most DO schools). At AUC or Ross a 3.0 and a 22 your definately not guarenteed admission, except for maybe Ross, they admit a ton and fail out a ton.
