keith_015 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Apply broadly (as long as you are getting a 4 year degree). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancelle Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Thanks. Do you have any ideas as to any specific schools at which I may have a good chance with admissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rach Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Was this your first MCAT attempt? That makes a difference.... Even though you have a great MCAT score, your GPA is a little on the low side so you'll definitely have to apply widely (just check the Canadian-friendly school list and start picking from there).

dancelle Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yes, that was my first attempt for the MCAT. As for applying broadly, does my terrible GPA remove me from consideration at any American schools? Obviously, I won't be applying to Ivy leagues, but any others?

moo Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 If you have the money I'd apply very broadly to as many schools as possible. Only thing you'll lose is money. It's like a lottery, especially with your stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md2013 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Perhaps just as important, apply early. Like the first week of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slashsev01 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I would re-write my mcat and try to score a 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
