I wouldn't worry about the mcat. They will happily take your GRE. let me relate a quick story. I had very good grades and great MCAT. Sadly, I was naive and stupid when I applied.

It would have been fun to have been represented by a professional in my quest to enter podiatry. In essence, someone who asks each school how much scholarship they would provide the student. Furthermore, I would like in writing a contract that reigns in tuition increases over the 4 year period.

Do you realize that I and everyone of my classmates were so dumb that we signed up for a school without knowing the eventual price. Would you ever buy a car on credit and not know what the final price would be? Do you know how much my school raised its tuition each year. It wasn't fun!

In conclusion, get someone to represent you as your "agent". You will probably get a much better deal if you can get the schools to compete against one another for a quality student.

good luck.
