Unhappy Alittle advice!!

Hi, there is like a week for me to take the MCAT and Im already freaking out. Whenever I do the practice MCAT exams the scores are ranging from 18 to 23! Usually the ** and PS are around 8.. but verbal is the worst for me (since i am a foreigner). I got as low as 3.. and highest was 7...
Honestly should I even consider SGU?

Just take as many Verbal practice tests as you can. The more practice the better you'll do.

the last post is based on a case by case basis, i did a lot of practice and stayed the same in verbal. I had below a 6 in verbal and still got in. my science scores were both in the high double digits and i taught the sciences for kaplan.

That is not to say u should not attempt to improve your verbal, just know its not impossible to get in if u have below a 6

Jelaeris, if by 'foreigner', you mean you're an International applicant, you may not need to take the MCAT to apply to SGU. I think it's only for North-American applicants.
