Admissions Consultants,
I graduated approximately 6 months ago from a state university here in GA with a degree in biology. My science and cumulative GPAs are both 4.0. When I took the MCAT in September, I earned a 24T (10-Bio, 7-PS, 7-VR).
I was a very active participant in student organizations, and held numerous leadership positions. I also have experience shadowing physicians and other healthcare providers. & I am currenly working as a researcher/technician at a local medical school for the experience and patient contact hours.
I have research experience, but we are still waiting for the items to be published. There is also a chance that I could have something published as part of my job here as a researcher.
Letters of rec. are plentiful, and come from undergrad professors and some of the physicians with whom I am currently working.
Additional demographics: 22 y/o, not an underrepresented minority, not economically/medically disadvantaged.

My question is.. what are my chances of getting into a US allopathic school, given that my MCAT score is so abysmal? I want to re-take, but I am not sure that I will do all that much better given the amount of time that I have to study. Any advice for me?
