Well... I'm currently planning how I'm going to improve my application for its submission next June.
While I am preparing to begin volunteering in a free clinic in my community, and also participate in a medical mission trip this coming spring I have one decision that I am still rethinking...
My MCAT.... I have a 29 (9,10,10)M (as you can see from my MDapps if you've looked).
Until recently i was 100% sure I wanted to retake, but now I'm not so sure. With a 29, are the odds more against me for getting into an MD school? I've spoke with my premed advisor and various other students and med students and I've gotten mixed advice.
Obviously I'd rather not have to ever take this test again... But if I'm going to take it I know its important to make that decision now so I can plan for what I'll be doing next spring.
As far as my science GPA goes its around 3.75. I am in the process of taking animal phys, genetics, and micro this fall to hopefully bring it up to around a 3.8...
Any advice would be appreciated...
