Juliaelizabethhorvat Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi everyone, got my MCAT score back today, and I was very disappointed. I'm now really fretting about medical school and whether or not Ill get in, so please do chance me! Any help is greatly appreciated! Me: Canadian citizen, hoping to get into any DO or MD school. MCAT: 24 (9 verbal, 6 bio, 9 physical). GPA: so far its 3.4 (I'm a 3rd year). Shadowing: 3 months (480 hours) of shadowing a MD in China Hospital Nephrology Department. Research: 1 year at a pain research lab. No publications. Clubs/leadership positions: Wellness Peer, Equity Ambassador, Fundraising Director, Mentoring Club Planning Committee, Health Promotion Team, Co-president at Mental Awareness Club. I realize that I will most likely need to retake my MCAT for better chances at acceptance. My questions are: my chances of getting based on current stats AND when I should retake my MCAT next summer so that when I apply I would still be considered "early". Thank you!

To be honest, you are never going to get into a US MD school with a 3.4 cgpa, Canadian citizen, and a 24 MCAT. You'll have a shot at a US DO school with a 28-29+ MCAT and 3.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much chance, you only have done 2 years of school anyways, so you have 2 years left to increase your GPA. And retake the mcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Definitely retake. That 6 in BS is worrisome (a 6 in any subject is bad, but BS especially). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
