    Thank you for these tips! Question about how to approach practice tests for the second time around -- did you retake the same AAMC official full length exams, or did you look for new 3rd party practice tests/ study materials instead?

    If his GPA was a 3.5+ which it looks like it may be given how good he comes off as, I think he could have still gotten into medical school. Maybe not his dream medical school but medical school none the less
