Summary of Application Experience
I have a low MCAT but retook it in August 04 - am waiting for results - but applied anyway.( I cannot imagine taking the MCAT a third time but will if necessary) I have really good evaluation letters from the HPAC at my school. If I do not get accepted I will try again next year.
My August MCAT scores were not any better. I applied late too. Will try again next year. I will not give up.
