My MCAT scores are low (22ish on my practice exams and haven't taken the real thing yet, depressing!), but my GPA and service hours are great. I'm getting the feeling that I may not be getting into medical school. What are other alternatives to do with my B.S. in Biology besides teaching. I'd like to hear from fellow Biology majors that couldn't get into medical school. Thanks.

The real question is: "What is your passion?" What is your purpose in life? What would you LOVE to do? Find your passion. Then "connect" your passion to serving others - that is your purpose. Better to spend your life pursuing your purpose than to waste it in a job/career that does not inspire you.

Best wishes and good luck.

Veterinary school is also an option, but that may be just as difficult to get into. You can also fall back onto your minor (if you had one) and finish that up. Keep trying for med school, you never know.
