1st attempt on MCAT: 27 (10/9/8)
2nd attempt a year later: 517 (130/126/130/131)

cGPA: 3.59
sGPA: 3.65

Solid LOR's and EC's - research for 2 years w/ presentations at conferences, multiple strong clinical/volunteer experiences

Background: Went to a small liberal arts college, played varsity soccer, and decided to switch to pre-med after sophomore year. Tried to rush and take the MCAT my senior year which didn't go so well. Took a year off to work as a scribe and re-take the MCAT.

Just got the MCAT score back yesterday, so now trying to decide where to apply - any advice is much appreciated!!!
