I think I've pretty much made a decision - I just want to make sure my gut instinct matches what you'd suggest too!
I applied 2008-2009 and was waitlisted. I *know* my MCAT score was too low (in fact, it's amazing I was waitlisted to be honest). Physical sciences was my Achilles' heel.
Due to various life events, I am currently scheduled to retake MCAT in August. I know that's late for this cycle obviously. I am also planning on taking another upper level science class. My MCAT is what needs the most work; I'm confident in my ECs since I'm nontrad and have had more years to build them.
I am thinking it will be best if I know my MCAT score before I send out applications again. Hence, I should wait until 2010 to reapply.
Do you agree? I'm 27 btw. Le sigh...but years are going so quickly now that if I don't start med school til I'm 29 that doesn't feel too differently I suppose. I do have a somewhat sinking feeling in my stomach that this boat is quickly passing me by though. Ugh!
