Hi,
I took my MCAT last year and got a 27 on it (11PS 06VR 10BS).
My June 18 MCAT however, I got a 25 on it (07PS 10VR 08BS).
I do not think I have it within me to take the MCAT again, nor can I take the MCAT until late August/September. By that time my application might be a little too late? I was wondering what my options are. I want to apply to MD. I would consider DO but I have not shadowed a DO doctor. So I was wondering what my options are? Is there no hope for me? I know two people who got in with a 25.
I am an IT major, with a 3.84 GPA, and a similar science GPA. I have volunteer experience in the ER and PACU. Experience shadowing a doctor. A couple of teaching experiences. A couple of leadership positions in school organizations. Experience for several months in brain research. Dean's list, and dean's scholarship. That's the jist of it.
I am encouraged by the fact that my verbal went up by 4 points, but horrified that my other two (supposedly strong) sections went down. I was averaging 9-11 on the practice tests on those sections. I don't know what happened on the real test. I don't want to take it again, and then get another low score.
What are my options?
-Should I apply to schools which take a look at scores from both tests? if so, which schools are they?
-Are there any graduate school options where you can transfer into the MD program after the first year?
-Caribbean?
-If Caribbean, why not other countries? like England, France, Scotland, etc.?
Please help. Thanks.
