EMT with 4 years Experience

People do take it multiple times, but this is not a recipe for success. Here is the AAMC (test admin) website: www.aamc.org/students/applying/mcat/To answer your 34 question, yeah, a 34 will get you into medical school, if your GPA is good, by which I mean 3.6 or higher. Here is a site to take practice tests: www.e-mcat.com. See how you can do. Above 30... Good chance. Chances get better as score gets higher. Below 30... Weaker as score goes down. I am going to be very blunt and offend people here, but if your MCAT score is in the mid 20's and lower, you should not attempt medical school. The MCAT is a good test. It tests your ability to learn and apply scientific information. Med school is 4 years of this. If you can't crack the upper 20's or a 30, you shouldn't go to med school.I say this because with a low MCAT your chances of acceptance into US MD/DO schools get slim, and the offshore route is sketchy. There are schools offshore that will accept you with no or a low MCAT score, but if you are not a good test taker, you might not pass your boards, and then will be left with piles of debt and no way to practice in the US. Don't do this to yourself. Good luck
