Well, you're aiming very high as you should, but it's always good to have some safety schools in there.

Have you tried Sketchy Micro? My students swear by it. Go talk to your professors about how best to learn the material.

Adcoms do not care about majors or minors, only that you do well. My school has been interviewing more people from Reaaly Top UGs, like the Ivies lately, and those canddiates do end up going elsewhere. BUT, we have rejected some of these interviewees, mostly because they come off as lab rats...

If you're gunning for the MD, then yes, you need to retake the MCAT. Cubans and Peruvians are well represented in American Medicine. I suggest: Loma Linda (only if you are SDA or a very devout Christian) MCW NEOMED Rosy Franklin Tulane Your state schools Any DO program, except the Touros...
