I WAS going to wait and rip open the paper envelope this week, but I just couldn't hold off and had to get my scores. PS 7, BS 9, VR 11 S. Can you tell I was a double major liberal arts gal? Truth is, I'm rattled and extremely bummed. Just feel sooooo grey right now.......
I apologize, but my post-bacc school doesn't have a stellar prehealth advisor, thus my addiction to SDN. Therefore these questions may seem pretty hardcore, but you guys are the most in the know.
So here goes the infamous questions -
1. With a 3.9 post bacc GPA, current ECs, 8 years of post grad experience as a journalist (dammit, yes I'm 30!) and one research project, do I even bother applying this cycle with an unbalanced 27. I've got my app almost done and will be ready to submit it in about 2 weeks. Should I wait until after the August MCAT?
2. AND that leads me to the obvious - I should study my arse off and take the test in August, right?
3. What do my SDN cohorts recommend as far as materials to bring up the PS? Brain transplant? Seriously, any good materials aimed at Chem or Physics?
I'm not soliciting a pep talk - I just need some realistic, practical insight.
