Hey guys,
I'm currently a junior and finishing up my med school requirements this semester. I'm wondering what are my chances but I'm in a bit of a quirky situation (high gpa/low mcat...really low.) My cumulative average is a 3.504, B/P/CH- 3.64. I currently don't have any clinical experience or research but am driven to gain an experience next semester in a unique position. I actually haven't taken my MCAT yet, but am going to take it in January (one of the last ones before they change to the 2015 format). So I've taken a few practice tests already to gauge my progress and haven't really gotten anywhere...I completed all my requisites this year (Spring, summer (2 semesters), and this fall), so i'm pretty new to the material which is why I think I haven't been up to par where I thought i'd be. My 3 practice test grades were 14,14,17. The 17 I got after my midterm this semester so i'm pretty worried. My VR isn't at all where I thought it would be which is really frustrating, partially because I love the passages, but also the ** section I just get destroyed on, PS is my best section. I've done a lot of research this past year at my options and consider myself a realist- by January, I probably won't be scoring a 30. However, I'm not going to give up by any means. I highly considering MUA because of their continued growth, affordability w/ US loan program, solid output of physicians w/ residency positions, and NY- approval. My phobia about applying to this school is that I won't do well enough on the MCAT, by well enough I mean below 20.
My question- to any better informed students out there, accepted, or pending acceptance, what type of stats did you have to get accepted to MUA?
