Question: With my stats, I really don't know that I have a chance? AACOMAS didn't include math as a science course in the GPA and so my science GPA is LOW My BCPM GPA on AMCAS was 3.21 and AO 3.51. My science GPA dropped because of 3 poor grades (2nd semester of organic chem, 2nd semester physics and biochem).
cGPA = Excellent
ECs = Excellent
sGPA = Oi.
MCAT = Eeeek. (Courtesy of Efle's conversion scale, you have about a 23, and that 4th retake of a 23 is a big red flag)
Question: What were your other MCAT scores? Many schools will not just take most recent/best scores, and instead will average them. For example if your other scores were 490, 493, 495, 496, your MCAT would be 493.5 at most schools.
Your EC's look fantastic and may save you. I think its important that you have something distinguishing yourself from your other applicants.
It was good that you applied broadly. Overall I'd say your chances are not good as many schools have a sub 500 MCAT screen, but hey, give it a shot and see what happens. You never know, and with those EC's you might just get in somewhere.....
Welcome Underdawg!!!
Idk man i think you might be better off taking some real time to figure out whats going wrong with the MCAT instead of applying this cycle. You could also retake all F/D/C coursework to boost that science gpa to 3.6 to compensate for that low mcat.My other scores were 23, 17, 492, 496....

Let's see what @Goro thinks about your situation. I'm not sure it would be best to apply now, but he's the expert.
My other scores were 23, 17, 492, 496....
Would it be worth retaking if i don't get in this year? I applied to several MD as well... I just think I'm having an issue with studying.
Right, no DO school will take math in the sGPA, however, your advisor is incorrect with the post bacc advice. You could do a DIY post bacc on your own in order to boost your sGPA over 3.6 to compensate for that low mcat.I've already applied to many, so we will see. If not this year, then I will plan on retaking my MCAT and spending more time studying. I considered a post-bacc, but my advisor said that my overall GPA is fine when math is reported as a science.. AACOMAS doesn't do that though and it clearly depends on the DO school...
@Goro, what if he does a DIY post bacc and raises sGPA and cGPA to ~3.65? Will it compensate for those MCATs for entry at maybe 1 school?I can't sugar coat this: I can't recommend med school. You have yet to master the mCAT, and are at high risk to fail out of med school and/or fail boards.
Time for Plan B.
And no, I can't recommend a retake either. You have clearly plateaued.
I can't sugar coat this: I can't recommend med school. You have yet to master the MCAT, and are at high risk to fail out of med school and/or fail boards. I can think of at least 11 COms where you're be auto-rejected. Even LUCOM has standards!
Time for Plan B.
And no, I can't recommend a retake either. You have clearly plateaued.
Right, but the only thing at this point is that you've taken it four times, and even a stellar score wont cut it if some schools average. I'm not trying to sound discouraging, and I apologize if I sound that way. Personally I think your best option is to retake all F/D/C coursework in a DIY post bacc, get those GPAs as close as humanly possible to 4.0 each (to compensate for those MCATs they should be pretty darn close to 4.0 each), and apply as broadly as possible.The thing is that I've never had any issues with other tests. Also, I was working 60 hours a week during my three month Kaplan course for my MCAT, and previous 3 times, I tried to study on my own. Kaplan helped, but I always fell behind. Maybe if I took a hiatus from my job and then studied? Dedicating the time would SURELY be of value for me..

I know people really don't like the idea of the Carib, and no one recommends it, but if you think you could make it through that, then that might be your only option. Its a HUGE risk though, as you might be unemployed and in debt if you don't make the cut.
Best of luck to you man.
@Goro really knows what he is talking about. However there is one thing you have to make sure!The thing is that I've never had any issues with other tests. Also, I was working 60 hours a week during my three month Kaplan course for my MCAT, and previous 3 times, I tried to study on my own. Kaplan helped, but I always fell behind.

Thank you.
I have considered Caribbean schools. I think I would make the cut. I am really good in school otherwise and I have revamped my study habits with my advisor since my MCAT, so that's why I think a retake would be improved and maybe even with additional coursework to improve all my stats. Also, I have worked with physicians who graduated from the Caribbean schools with great things to say..
I'm wondering, what is a good score for the MCAT to be an indicator to pass the boards? I got a 504(127/123/127/127) and that's because I bombed a section I did best at on practice tests somehow. Is a 504 a good indicator that I have a chance to pass the boards? I keep hearing about the boards and it worries me D;it is time for plan B. Honestly no school will touch you with those four scores. Maybe look into podiatry, but even then it's not a given. Do not go into the Carib. You are the type they prey on for a tuition check and then they will fail you after a semester or two, if you can't break a 23 on your 4th try then maybe its time for a real hard look in the mirror about your ability to eventually pass Step 1 and all the future licensing exams. There comes a point when you have to face reality, and, unfortunately, I think it is that time for you. Honestly look into Pod or nursing, they are great careers.

Is a 504 a good indicator that I have a chance to pass the boards? I keep hearing about the boards and it worries me D;
The research shows that below a 24 is usually when you get in danger of that. Your 504 is like a 28 and could have been higher except you had one low section so don't even worry about not passing boards! Interestingly enough I saw some data that also shows that your board score is only correlated to your MCAT up to a about a 27 and then it doesn't matter.

It's possible, y'all!
you already got an acceptance?!?! holy cow. this is crazy! Congrats!
when you guys say "verified" is that when you primary app was verified or when your secondary app for the given school was verified?
Mind sharing when you guys were complete for ACOM and when you got an interview after? the time difference between complete and II
I'm not sure exactly when I was complete, but I received the secondary June 20th, submitted it June 23rd, and was invited for an interview July 20th.@Alienman52 can you let me know too?
I'm not sure exactly when I was complete, but I received the secondary June 20th, submitted it June 23rd, and was invited for an interview July 20th.
You got the II on july 20th or you interviewed with them on July 20?

^^^ hahaha I received the invite ON July 20th. I interviewed on August 12th.
Every school is different to be honest. Some schools take months. I submitted my application for MU-COM mid July and just BARELY did they say "Oh your file is complete and now you are under review, wait 4 more weeks". So it can take months for them to properly review you.Okay so approx. 1 month to get an II assuming you qualify with their mission etc... thank you! Can anyone else share? Just curious.

Nice! Mind sharing what school?Well like the above poster said every school is different. One of my II's I got the same day I got the complete email. I was shocked. Must have been a slow day for apps that day or something.
