Hello All,
I never had the chance to go to college. After high school I drove a fork lift on a loading dock. I then worked for many years as room service waiter and then a bus driver to support my family. My son told me while he was in high school that he wanted to be a doctor (his idea). While many of his friends partied through college, my son studied very hard and graduated with a GPA of 3.9. He also had an internship at a national federal lab last summer. Even though he got student loans, I borrowed on the house, worked a double shift for a while, to help pay for his school and MCAT prep courses. My son took the MCAT last August and got a 26. He was disappointed big time. Although I am already very proud of him, and am happy how he turned out…he is so close to accomplishing a goal he set many years ago. He wants to go to an in-state med school and applied to six other schools. He received secondary applications to four of them, but so far…no interviews. I have had a rough life and prefer blunt. What are the chances of someone getting into a state med school with a 26 score?
