I just had to reply to this. Honestly, what do we know about how each of the top ten looks will look at your score. I feel after being through this process that, as everyone says the process is a crapshoot. I applied to few top tens, more top 30 schools and some how someone saw something in my application and decided to accept me.
But I mention that I am attending a top-ten this fall because, I did my homework before I applied to this school. I knew their program inside and out, I spoke to the Dean of Admissions at med school fairs, etc, new a lot about their extrordinarily generous financial aid, had a friend who is a first-year,etc. I did not apply to any top-ten without knowing the program through and through. That is why I have a problem with you wanting to go to any top-ten. Not every one of them is going to be for you. If you are so stuck on the idea of going to a top-ten at least research the schools first. So what if someone heard that a friend of a friend got into Harvard with a 7 verbal. So what. Do you really know you want to go to Harvard. Why? Your interviewers will ask you and if you can only come up with "cause you are a top-ten" then that will be a bigger read flag than your verbal score. Do you see what I am saying here?
But on the other hand, if you want to apply to all the top tens then go ahead. Some schools do appear more appealing after the interview, but you have NO clue until you apply. Please stop posting this question. I know you are worried. I was worried about being accepted at all during this period. But what are these posts really telling you. One says something and the next disputes it. Also some are applying right now and others have already been through the process. You will never know until you try! Go ahead and apply to the schools you want to go to. Decide if you want to re-take the MCAT or not, pump up your other assets on your application and secondaries. I don't know if you have seen secs but have a space where you can talk about anything. Use this section to talk about why you want to go to their school and ad a blurb about how the MCAT verbal does not match your abilities. I wish I could tell you to stop worrying but I can tell from your posts that you will continue to do so, so my suggestion, develop and action plan, and execute it.
Good luck.
