Hi guys! This is my first post and I would love to get your feedback on my chances for this cycle. I am also looking for help with my school list. Any input would be much appreciated! I am happy about my substantial improvement in grades and I feel like I have a better shot this cycle than I did the last cycle! THANKS IN ADVANCE.
I've taken the MCAT three times:
2016 MCAT: 507
2017 MCAT: 507
2018 MCAT: 515 (130, 126, 130, 129) Got the score TODAY!! (NEW FOR CURRENT CYCLE)
