What are my options?

[BlitzSleep]

I'm applying for entering class of 2011. I haven't recieved my MCAT score yet, but I'm going to assume worst case scenario. What options do I have? I am planning on getting EMT certified this year (trying to get in the class right now, so this may fall through). I'm getting my degree in Biochemistry. My amcas gpa is a 3.4.

I've thought of a few ideas, but I'm wondering if there are better options out there.

Option #1)
For Summer 2011: Study for MCAT and retake
Fall 2011-Spring 2012: Take some more undergrad classes to boost my bcpm gpa like business calculus, anatomy, physiology, and anything else that will help with the gpa. Work as an EMT (if I become certified) while I continue volunteering.

Option #2)
For summer 2011: Study for MCAT and retake
After summer: Get a job with my degree, continue volunteering, work as an EMT (if I become certified). Save up for a volunteer trip to 3rd world country


What are my other options?

Option 2 but no one can really answer without knowing where you stand. sgpa? How much volunteering do you have? clinical? shadowing? urm? We dont know anything about your app at all besides you gpa.😕

howabout just wait for your score and then decide?

...but if you want me to offer you an option for the worst case scenario, then i would suggest taking the mcat again as soon as possible...as in Jan/Feb 2011. That way it's still pretty fresh in your mind, and you will get your score well before application season. As for the following year, just figure it out as you go...
