What to do next

[jennygirl360]

Hi guys!! I’ve been reading posts on here for a while and now I need advice.
First a few stats: I graduated in December with my Bachelors in Neuroscience and Behavior with a minor in Biology. I have a 3.9 GPA and 3.8 Science GPA. I’ve done all the “requirements”: ie missions trips, volunteering, leadership, shadowing, and I worked. I didn’t have the chance to do a lot of research unfortunately, only a one semester DIS. I took my first MCAT last year but I had a really hard semester and got a 502. I just took the MCAT again yesterday, May 19th. I’m pretty sure I did alright I’ve been getting 510 on my practice tests. After graduating I’ve spent my time: studying for the MCAT, volunteering, working as a TA, and I have a toddler (so momming as well).
My question: what are my chances, what should I do next, and should I apply with my first MCAT or wait till I get my new score?

Wait until you get your new score and post it here. Where is your state of residence?

Your MCAT of 502 is above the 10th percentile for only 1 of your Florida schools- Florida State. When your new MCAT score is available we will have a better idea as to what other schools you can apply to.
