Here is my situation in a nutshell:

I have graduated from college, B.S. in Biology with about a 3.4-3.5 GPA, 24 MCAT, applied to med school twice and rejected twice (NO INTERVIEWS). I am currently living with my parents and I'm seriously about to go crazy! Seriously!!! 😱 😱

I need:
TO GET OUT on my own AND get some kind of education at the same time. (graduate education and backup in case I do not get into medical school)

To get my MCAT scores up so I can get into medical school.


Please please PLEASE!! If you have some helpful hints, tips, programs, ANYTHING, I would appreciate it so much. I live in the Dallas, TX area and would LOVE to go somewhere like UTMB, Houston, Tech (Lubbock) or other Texas areas. Please help.

Any kind of work that is productive, preferably medical research will aid your application. As will a higher MCAT score. Instead of work, you can also try a year of post-bacc.

Did you apply to carib and DO? I think your reasonably competitive for those schools.

Thing that sticks out to me is your MCAT. Consider a retake, perhaps with a prep class to boost your score.
