    *I have been extensively involved in my college since arriving here. I have tried to give most of the activities that I was involved with but, there are, sadly, even more :-D. I put my profile on here so that others who have low MCAT scores can see that there is still hope! Don?t do what I did and apply late, apply as early as possible and don?t give up hope.

    ****I? am D.O. all the way, only applied to Jefferson because the M.D. I shadowed graduated from there****
