My son, age 24 graduated with chem degree, pre-med. This past year he has been shadowing and volunteering at the hospital, working with two cardiac doctors and doing research for them. My son's GPA is 3.6. He has taken the MCAT 3 times. Making a score of 24 as highest. He is now unsure of his likelihood of med school acceptance. He feels his MCAT score isn't good enough, but does not want to give up his dream. It has been suggested for him to go to Med school in the Caribbean. I honestly don't know how to advise him at this point. He is very dedicated, everyone at the hospital where he volunteers thinks very highly of him and encourages him to keep trying.
What can he do at this point to improve his changes of being accepted into a US med school?
Thanks so much for any suggestions.
