Which areas should I improve the most? I still have to complete Phys 2 and Biochem prior to matriculation and MCAT in September (Unsure of expected score 500-510, I'm a fast learner, but unsure of where I stand currently TBD).
Also, which schools should I apply to across the US, no limitations, just where might I have a decent chance given these stats?
Any advice is welcome as I prepare for this journey!! I only decided on medicine 6 months ago, so I feel like I am playing catch-up!
