Congrats, man.
So you're definitely going to do Med now?

MCAT stands for the Medical College Admissions Test. The max score is 45, but a 33 puts me in the 87-90th percentile range. Basically my score is quite competitive and solidifies my chances to be a doctor.
I'll definitely go to medical school, but the question is where. Residency matters more than where a person goes to medical school, so I could settle for an in-state school, the only one being KU's med school. However the better med schools open more opportunities to get into a better residency program.

I'm keeping my options open, but at the moment I'm considering cardiothoracic surgery. It's lots of school, but Americans are getting fatter...

Hahaha, congratulations on your grade. I also happen to be one of those "fat Americans". This may be in poor taste, but here's to you making a living off fat bastards like me.
