I was wondering if I can receive any insight from anyone. I was just told by my undergrad pre-med advisor that the admission committees generally view negatively on number of MCAT taken. However, I was told by a Dean of medical school that it plays little factor for the admission. It seems that I am getting conflicting advice from two individuals. I am not who to believe. The prep-med advisor indicated that my chance of taken the MCAT >3 will most likely keeping from getting an interview from most, if not all, med schools. This sounds alittle harsh, but she indicated that she was being honest and truthful of my outcome of the application.
It seems that undergrad GPA 3.5 and Post bacc GPA 3.67 (overall AMCAS 3.4) at the well respected IVY school does not matter in her view and not to mention numerous research activities at various places, such as NIH.
(also, academic tutor, clinical experiences, etc.)
I would appreciate much if anyone can provide any insight into this matter.
thanks
