this is the worst site for you to post on. most people on here are planning for carib schools and with those stats you shouldn't even be thinking about carib schools.

go here this is where you'll get much better advice. Student Doctor Network|An educational community for students and doctors spanning all the health professions. (http://www.studentdoctor.net)

you should apply to your state schools or low tier private med schools, or brand new med schools that just opened up with in the last couple of years. US med classes are expanding and there's a chance you'll get in. However if you can raise your verbal to 10 then you'll have an excellent chance for admission.

I agree - student doctor network is a better forum for you. I think you just need to focus on your verbal...even if you pull it up a point or two higher, you have a good chance (Examkrackers Verbal is supposed to be good). California is hard though, even as a resident, so apply everywhere. Another website that may help (I don't know how valid the information is) is mdapplicants. It has tons of information regarding applicant statistics for each school.

Good luck!
