Hi everyone, this is my first post and I hope to get some valuable opinions as I am very concerned and confused.
My overall GPA is 3.47 and science GPA is 3.4. My 1st mcat was 11P, 6V, and 10B. My 2nd mcat was 8P, 8V, and 9B. I have medical related extracurriculars, leadership roles, community service, and research. What are my chances? Should I wait until next cycle to apply so that I can take a 3rd mcat and see if I can score higher? Should I apply to the Carribean? Help! Thanks!
for MD, your gpa and mcat are below average (pretty sure you may have known that). do you know why your mcat score changed so much as far as distribution? if a school takes the best of each section, you would be looking better, but few schools, if any, do that. you could def try for DO here in the states if that was something you were interested in. i would suggest that before doing carribean. if you only only only want MD, you are going to have to retake the mcat. give yourself ample study time. don't rush it. if you really want to be a doctor, one more year of waiting and improving your numbers isn't going to kill you.
