What are my chances with my stats?

[AD1987]

Hey guys,
So I'm new to this forum and I have read a couple of interesting things. I actually have an interview next week in New Jersey. I am extremely scared of getting rejected, and I do not want to get MERP'd because I want to start in Jan 2010. My stats are as follows:

Overall GPA: 3.06
Pre-requisite GPA: 3.41

Chem 1 - A
Chem 2 - B
Org Chem 1 - A
Org Chem 2 - A
Bio 1 - A-
Bio 2 - A+
Physics 1 - B-
Physics 2 - C-
Calculus 1 - A-
Eng 1 - A
English 2 - B+

BUT!!!!! I was scoring in the mid and high 20's on the practice exams and got sick two days before my scheduled test. My bad luck. My MCAT score is 19N. Are my chances of getting rejected high? Or perhaps getting MERP'd? Even if I can explain this to them on the day of my interview next week? My pre-req grades are decent so I don't need to get MERP'd. Also, any advice for my interview next week? (I really really want to get in, anything will be of great help. Thanks.)

Your MCAT sucks...even with the grades...ill say MERP or rejected....flip a coin...BTW there is already a "what are my chances" thread...USE IT...this thread is going to get deleted...hopefully before I even get my post in

Thank UBuntu. I'll go there. I don't know how to delete this thread though, so I'm guessing it'll automatically be deleted?

First of all, I don't think you will get rejected ( I don't think anyone does). You will probably get MERPed but what is wrong with that? I would think MERP is actually better for you if you want to be a doctor because it would test your abilities and reinforce concepts that you can use while you are on the island. I would recommend anyone to get MERPed since all the concepts will come back to help you on island. BTW: I was never MERPed but think it's a good idea.

Thanks. If I do get MERPed, will I be able to start next year April? I will graduate this December.
