Rosey, I am in very a very similiar situation. I am 27 also, and I know how it feels like time is slipping away. I am also from Texas, and my undergrad GPA is the same as yours. I will be sitting for the MCAT in April myself for the first time.
The dean of admissions of Texas Tech's school of medicine recommended to me in person 3 years ago that I get a graduate degree to bolster my application, which I did. Have you perhaps considered getting a graduate degree?
As for re-taking the MCAT, go for it!
I don't know what your volunteer experience or job experience looks like...if you have lots of clinical experience I think this will help you.
I will be applying for the Jan. 2004 semester at SABA.
Right now I am rating SABA as my #1 choice for med school, as I feel Texas schools won't admit me unless I score extremely high on the MCAT.
Feel free to e-mail me if I can help in any way.
