2. Everybody on here says the adcom will just say to apply and see because they don't want to discourage any potential applicants... even if it is a waste of money or time. 3. I don't understand your 3. the first one, not the second. I guess I might as well start filling out more apps since I...

What other schools did you have in mind? Im not a URM. Technically I could still send out my app to more schools, and I have time to work on secondaries. I figured my CARS score would get me screened.

I won't apply DO until next year. I'd rather take the one year and take a real shot at MD. I know my MCAT will improve. Like Goro said, med school isn't going anywhere. Can i take classes at a community college for a semester?

I recently got a 504 on the MCAT even though I was scoring 509-510 the week before. I just made a test-day error and I ended up doing bad (123) in the CARS section. So, I decided to not apply anywhere this cycle (except ECU, already sent my app for verification). The worst part was CARS was...

Should I apply to any other schools? Like UNC? So, I'm planning on a postbacc for the next year and an mcat retake in Jan. Should I even bother applying to more than ecu this cycle?

I have a similar mcat problem. 130/123/124/127/504. Will our cars scores get us screened out?

I have similar stats. 130/123/124/127/504 3.48 cGPA 600 hrs of scribe experience, 200 hrs free clinic volunteering No research Nc resident I was actually thinking about giving up on this cycle because my cars section is so low. So, I'm pretty sure I'll be screened out.

But that wasn't the question. how is 2 bad? if i get a good score then that's gotta be a good thing. if it is the sameish then I will retake in a few months after reviewing and studying thoroughly, but I really think it could work as long as I pace myself on the test. Everything is still fresh...

I think I will apply to a few schools where I have a chance like wake forest and George Washington. So the point of not retaking the mcat is because it's too late and multiple retakes look bad? Should I hold back on applying to schools?

Sorry for the double post idk how to delete

i got a 504 on the mcat, it wasn't balanced. 130/123/124/127 Should I apply this cycle? My app has already been sent to Brody to ecu but hasn't been verified yet. I have a cGPA 3.5 and 800 hrs between scribing and volunteering at a free clinic. No unique story, I just graduated with my...

I got my score today, and it was disappointing. I got 130/123/124/127/504. What was really surprising was on the AAMC sample test two days before, I scored 71%/83%/73%/89%, which on reddit corresponds to a 126/128/127/128/509. I'm not surprised I did better in the first section; I was being...

those last 3 things are pretty much the samething

"Hey mom I want to become a doctor" "Okay cool"

So I was a computer science major for my first year and I got As on calculus II and the intro weed out programming classes despite the fact that I think I suck at both programming and math. Halfway through my second semester I decided I want to take a premed track and drop computer science...
