    Summary of Application Experience

    Re-applicant, since my last application, I retook the MCAT with hopes of getting 30+, unfortunately didn't work out, so now I'm trying to see where these stats take me.

    I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out and recommend some schools that would look beyond the low MCAT and average GPA and focus on my other strengths, etc. =)

    Thanks to all in advance!
