Hi,

I am going to be 33 years old and I have a very unique situation. I completed my first 2 year of college back in 1995 and then took MCAT in 1995. I got a score of 22. 7 verbal, 8 physical sceince and 7 biological science. Then I finished my bachelors from Cal State University in Fullerton, Californiaback in 2000. My overall GPA was around 3.5. Since then I haven't gone back to college or a University. My question is would I have to retake MCAT, biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, etc etc in order to apply to AUC. What are my chances of getting into AUC considering the fact that I finished my bachelors degree almost 10 years ago. Thanks for any input.

Thanks

You wouldn't have to retake your science classes, but you would likely have to retake the MCAT. I don't think anywhere accepts MCAT scores that are more than 4 years old. Other than that, you should be good to go. Best to check with MEAS though for a definite answer.

Im majoring in business and posted earlier...but this semester i have 2 c's...not in my science classes but my business classes....would it look better to get the c's or to fail on purpose and retake the classes and try to get a's?

It'll be better to get the C's...it looks a lot worse to fail a class than to get a C, even if you retake it and get an A the 2nd time.

never fail on purpose!

You should apply.

Your GPA and MCAT are close to the average for AUC.

I think I read a post on here about AUC accepting old MCAT scores (as opposed to AMCAS, which sets a limit on how far back you can go) - You could call MEAS and ask.

If you fail at AUC, SGU, or Ross why not transfer to SMU, if you fail at SMU, why not try another SMU.

If you wanted to, you could get in for the fall as well...

Would it be impossible for you to invest a month into retaking MCAT again? (I'm so shocked when anyone with such a high GPA wants to try carib) ...

before you make any decisions try www.studentdoctor.net - MCAT forum (it gives you a LOT of advice about how to prep for MCAT & maybe you can avoid carib all together...

For sure, you're guaranteed for AUC
