Hi, I'm a senior graduating this May.
I applied to nearly 30 schools last year and had one interview, which rejected me after a long while. My gpa is sci 3.54 and overall 3.62. I know it was the MCAT score that screwed me up (6v, 10p, 8b). I was thinking about taking a year off after graduaion to study for MCAt and retake it in april 2002. That means i have to take another year off to wait for the interview and acceptance. I was thinking about other alternatives like osteopathic and forien med school. Should I just settle for less or try taking MCAT one more time (=wasting 2 years). I know I could improve my MCAT but what's my chance at this point? I currenty learned alot of osteopathy and it sounds great too, maybe better than allopathy to me (b/c it shares my philosophy) But it seems like they would be some significant restriction like residency and fetting a job in the future. I'm worried.
Please help...thank you so much.
