Hi,

I just got my mcat scores today.
PS=12
VR=11
BS=10
WS=P
Total: 33P

My CGPA is ~3.78.
I've done a bunch of ECs - but specifically, my clinical/research experiences are:

-volunteering at cancer lab
-volunteering at acute care center
-research assistant (work with sex-trade workers and factors that contribute to their HIV/AIDS status)
-research assistant (at transplant immunology lab)
-volunteer at developing country's hospital

I'm Canadian and I am thinking about applying to Canadian and American med schools. What are my chances of getting into either of them? What US med schools do I have the best chance at? Should I repeat my MCAT?

Thanks!

Canadians applying to US schools are generally held to a higher standard than American citizens who apply. While your stats would be fine for a US applicant, your chances as a Canadian are just so, so, and might rest on more details than you provided about your ECs.

You can view a statistical summary of International acceptees at US schools by scrolling far right on the provided grid here:

You might also consider doing an SDN search on the term "Canadian" to read other posts on this issue.
