Hi. I am in the same boat as your sister was. Can you tell me what medical school she got into?
Thank you!

…to DO (osteopathic) Schools, and to Carribean medical schools — you’ll get into both. You’d just waste your money applying to regular med schools through AMCAS — unless you happen to live in Alabama or Missisippi or a couple of other states where your numbers are actually close to “competitive” for the med schools there. For most other schools in most other states, you’re not even in the same ballpark as “competitive”. Sorry if it sounds harsh.
I disagree with you. My sister had a low MCAT score (16) and a GPA of a 3.4 or 3.3 I think it was? And she still got into medical school in the USA. It depends on what medical school you are applying, and if you fit what they are looking for. Also, I’ve heard some people have a high GPA and MCAT score, and still didn’t get in. JJJD in my opinion, apply. If you want, you can re-take courses or take extra classes, that’s great, but I don’t think it’s necessary because your MCATS are great.
