I made an appointment with the dean of admissions to discuss my application and see what I can do to improve my chances of acceptance next year. I am pretty sure that I was not accepted because of my Mcat scores. Everything else, GPA, volunteer work, extracurriculars, letters of recommendation were strong. The problem is I took the Mcat 3 times. I studied to my greatest ability (took a prep course, took many many practice exams, knew the info inside out), and I have no explanation why my scores were so horrible (except for verbal was ok, I recieved a 10). My family says it is because I was going through a rough year (two close family members died, among other things), but that does not matter to admissions, and I don't like excuses. I know that I have the potential to be a great physician, I have the dedication and drive, but my scores ruined everyting. I already have some kind of idea on what I will say, but has anyone else been in a similar situation, and do you have any suggestions?
