ProudMD,
My pre-med advisor is REALLY pushing for a re-take of the MCAT (either praying for a Jan seat or preparing for the new mcat). He seems to think that a 7 in verbal is going to hold me back and be a thorn in my side throughout the app and interview process. Does he have a point? Or maybe if I get some clinical volunteer hours, do I stand a legitimate shot of interviews/acceptances?
If I don't do a re-take, he says that a special master's program would be the way to go.

Congrats, that was risky with a 7 in verbal, but I'm happy it worked out for you!As an update, I didn't apply DO and have been accepted at Toledo and Wright St thus far. Interviewed at Beaumont and Wake Forest with results pending.
As a subsequent update, I decided to attend Wake Forest School of Medicine! It was the best fit for me, and they even helped financially more than the other schools. It was a no-brainer decision!
