Hi,
As of present, my MCAT is in low 20s so I think that’s the reason I didn’t get any good news from the medical schools that I applied to.
I want to retake the MCAT in April 2012 and take upper science courses to improve my chances next year.
But the problem is that I’ve been working for the AmeriCorps State (not healthcare related, in case you wonder) since August. I need to significantly increase my score but I honestly don’t think I could pull very good scores & GPA on top of working full-time. It’s not possible for me to cut my working hours to part-time.
So my question is, should I quit the AmeriCorps to focus on my studies? If I quit working full-time, I’ll seek a once-a-week volunteer position, shadowing or something else while I study.
When reapplication time comes, will admissions really really dislike the fact that I only worked for AmeriCorps for half a year?
Any advice is appreciated.
