Frankly, don't use that biology letter.
Without a MCAT score it is hard to make any prediction.
Depending on how many med school applicants your school produces each year and how familiar your target med schools are with your undergrad school, you might be hurt by the lack of a committee letter.

A case study is not really "research" as it is not generalizable.

After we see an MCAT score, we might be able to say whether you have a shot this year or if you'll be looking are reapplying down the road and might as well sit out this cycle and do things better a year from now (committee letter, better than mediocre biology letter, etc)

Oh no so sorry about not being clear with the timeline! That is my actual score (506). It was just at the beginning of last month I took my MCAT, and the committee deadline was mid April. I can't take that route anymore. Plus, my school is very unknown by many medical schools.

Do you happen to have any school suggestions?

Do you happen to have any school suggestions?

Nope. I no longer have MSAR access and my field of vision is very narrow and focused at the top schools so I'm not much help in that regard. You are in good hands with Faha.
