Should I do a master program for the linkage or apply this cycle? I've been out of college for a few years now and all my LORs have been from undergrad or MD's, but I haven't stayed in touch with them in a while. Personal essay isn't my strong suit. I know that my school list is down to a few DO and MD programs especially since I was waived out of one english course, so I only took one english course in college. A lot of schools require me to have 2 english courses/1 year of english/writing intensive courses. I cannot retake the MCAT due to the fact that I work full time now.

Why does FAP count section 8 housing voucher as annual income on behalf of your parents? Or is this a mistake? They counted it as part of the annual income but that's just money thats paid directly to the landlord, not actually given to us in hand to use. The actual AGI from me and my parents is way below the 400% poverty guidelines. This doesn't make any sense.
