Hi all!
Thank you so much for checking out my post
Please let me know what you think of my school list. I am aware my MCAT is quite low for some of them, but I received a scholarship that pays for all medical school application costs. I am also thinking of applying to only IL schools and then retaking the MCAT as I was scoring 525-528 on my practice exams (14 practice exams) but my niece died the day before my MCAT date and it was too late to cancel my test and I did not want to void my exam. Let me know what you think!!
