MCAT Score and relative experience needed, help!!

So I'm still wondering with a gpa 3.48 and after I retake a pre-requisite I'm wondering what MCAT score would be considered competitive or rather the average score for those accepted? Also, is the shadowing experience enough? or is it important to have other experiences? I got a year's worth of research in college, observed two heart surgeries, and did some hospital volunteering. Don't know if that's good enough tho...I just want to get in so bad, the MCAT is driving me crazy.

What school(s) are you applying to? Most programs have matriculant statistics posted on their website.

I'm thinking probably of all the schools except the Case Western ones. Because, I'm going to be taking Biochem pre-req online, cause its the cheapest option.

Emory has a 491 MCAT but I don't know if I can trust it or not. What should I shoot for?

Also I'm a West Coast resident would that negatively inhibit my chances?

Why would being a west coast resident hurt your chances? It doesn't matter where you're from. And Emory (or any school) wouldn't post false statistics on their website, so I'd say it's pretty reliable.

So you'd say just go with the matriculant statistics? That would be a safe bet I guess.Thanks, I was looking for more information that could maybe help not just based on the websites, but I don't know too much except what they have on the site.

Thanks a lot for your help! I feel a little better but still worried.
