bivhav9, I was also reading your threads closely...it's really very informative...thank you so much...I also have some interest in medicine as Peacetime (the originator of this thread). Now I am preparing for MCAT...so my question is: do little low MCAT score and good science GPA help in getting selected or the MCAT score  has to be strong...what is your advise on improving MCAT score...is there any colleges that you know of which don't take MCAT score so heavily...
