I just got those lovely MCAT scores. I went from a 13K last Aug to a 19O. I was told that was a good jump. I don't want to take it this August because I would fear going down in score.

I really want to get into med school this year. What should I do. My stats are right now I have a 3.20 science GPA and now a 19O MCAT score. I work a full time job (40+ hours a week), a part time job at a hospital (PRN), I volunteer for the American Red Cross, and go to school part time too. I am also an EMT-B. I am taking more classes this summer and this fall, if things go right I should be able to raise my science GPA to 3.40 by the end of fall classes.

I would love some suggestions on what I should do. What schools would be the best for me to apply to. I have 2 DO rec letters from alumni here at the school in KC and tons of shadow time.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

From your volunterring and LORs I would think you got some pretty good stock going. For the score i dunno. I recieved some info from Midwestern(CCOM) up here in chicagho and the average MCAT is 26 for most matriculants. I hope that helps a little.

If you really don't want to take the MCAT again - apply DO and Carib (my friend was in a similar situation and wanted to go D.O. but applied to AUC and SGU) He got accepted to both with a 19 - AUC didn't even interview him. If you want to go D.O. cough up the money and apply. You never know.

Hey I am just thinking of applying without retaking as well. I doubt I will, but I am confused what to do. I have the same score as you, with even numbers as well... This is to hard to decide! I want to go DO too, but just wish I could apply and get in nearby!

I got accepted with MCAT in the low 20s, but my GPA is pretty high. I freaked when the score came out last year also, but I decided to apply anyway to see what my chances would be....and here I am. I'm not proud of my score, I could have done better, but I also work full-time and part-time at the hospital like you. Give it a try

Does anyone know of any schools that have taken anyone with low scores like me??

What would be some good schools to apply to??
