With a 7 on VR? Sorry... not gonna happen w/ a 7. The essay honestly doesn't seem to mean a whole lot (to med schools), although it might "confirm" your 7 in an adcom's eyes. Your GPA is also about 1.25 SD below the mean for an acceptee (3.65). Sorry, you're going to have to retake the MCAT and get that verbal into the double digits (min. 9, preferably 10+, esp. since you got a 7 the first time; you need to show that the 7 was the fluke and not the 9).
