MD 24 MCAT, otherwise strong application

$

Hi everyone,

I took the MCAT right after college and got a 28. Some time passed, and I had to retake. I got a 24R (very surprising, after consistently getting 29, 30 on the practice exams). It's been a while since I took the science classes, so studying is really a b*tch for me, and I do not want to take it again. Plus, I'm in graduate school full-time and work-part time.

Am I being unrealistic in thinking that I might get in (to SUNY Upstate, early decision), given that my application is otherwise very strong?
  • I was an honors student in college (Syracuse),
  • volunteered in hospitals and an AIDS clinic,
  • worked as a pharmacy technician,
  • am an EMT,
  • taught physically disabled kids in China for two years,
  • am currently getting my masters in public health at the number one public health school in the country,
  • am doing my internship at the number one hospital in the country,
  • and am a NY state resident.

I'd retake if I thought I'd score higher, but I'm not confident that I will. Will the ADCOM even look at my application?

Sorry if I sound really snobby. I probably am a little. But I really feel like I'd be a great doctor and that I deserve to get into medical school.

Thank you for your time and honest appraisal.
