I think the 6 is really going to hurt you...Most schools have cutoffs of at least 7-8 in each section. I would check the MSAR to see which schools have a low 10th percentile in the verbal, and maybe just apply to those select few, but unfortunately you probably have to retake...

From the advice I have been getting, a 7 in any one section is the bare minimum you want to apply with. 8 is the "comfortable" minimum, but 6 is just too low in my opinion. Impressive BS and PS sections though and along with the GPA, if you just bring that VR to 8 or 9, you should be fine.

An allopathic med school acceptance is very unlikely without a significant modifying factor. You have a chance at some of the DO schools, if you are considering them also.
