Hey all,
My c/sGPA are like 3.5, however my last 5 semesters were 3.62, 3.87, 4.0, 3.92, 3.6 (senioritis). MCAT is 516, the catch is that I took it twice before (26/27). Really studied for this last one. Tons of research (5 years), publication, 50 hours shadowing, hospital volunteering, etc the usual. My question is, is it worth applying to some high tier schools like Northwestern? My thoughts are that its essentially a waste of time and money considering the GPA and past MCATs. Any input is appreciated. And if you guys have any schools you think I should apply to I'm open for suggestions (from Illinois and have added all state schools). Take it easy!
