What are my changes? I would like to go to my home school, UNMSOM. I prepared all summer, did well in all my classes and was averaging ~30 on practice tests, my score caught me by surprise. I feel that my low MCAT will stick out like a sore thumb, and I know that it has potential to hurt my application. My Thanks in advance for your opinions, they are greatly appreciated!
