I applied to med school in 2003 and didn't get in due to my low mcat score:25. (gpa 3.8) I've been working part time and I retook mcat in April. I really can't tell how I did on it. I am planning to reapply this summer. This time I am planning to apply to US and Carribean MD programs and US dental programs. I have been looking for research opportunities and found one at UCI and one at CalTech. Both deal with med sci but obviously CalTech sounds better namewise. One problem is that at UCI, it is a fully paid position so I wil be able to support myself, but at CalTech, it is not a paid position. The advisor at Caltech was really nice during the interview and he offered me a chance to publish paper and a fabulous recommendation letter to make my application look really good. I have to decide fast and can anyone give me any advice?
