So I know there are dozens of other posts asking this same question, but I thought I'd ask it once again. :-)

I'm a senior undergrad in Central Texas, 2.9 GPA (will be 3.1 by the middle of the summer), double majoring in Chemistry & Cell Biology, president of the ACS Student Affiliate chapter for 2 consecutive years (American Chemical Society), worked on chemical research for the past year and a half, and also work part time in the microbiology laboratory at the local hospital. Took the MCAT May 10th, hoping to get at least a 30, and am signed up to take it again in July if not.

Please let me know what you think my chances are and maybe what schools I would have a decent chance of getting into. I'd love to go back home to CA or maybe somewhere nearer than TX, but anything you guys think just let me know.

Thanks!!!!:D

I'd say you have little to no shot at an MD school. It's hard to evaluate your chances without an MCAT score. Good luck.

Regardless of your MCAT score, you're going to get crapped on by MD schools. It really sucks that you're a CA resident, too. Aim for at least the mid 30's or you're not going to have much of a prayer unless you're a URM or disadvantaged. DO schools would be a good option if you pull out a good MCAT score.

How is everyone doing? I hope everyone's application process is going well.

I was wondering my chances.

To get more responses, post your own thread. You're in like Flynn if you've shadowed a physician or two. Write a good Personal Statement and apply yesterday :p. Good luck!:luck: Also, make sure that you apply to a couple of "safety schools" too. Don't just apply to havard and yale. Apply to some state schools!
