Since the 2009 application becomes available in a month or so I was wondering if thats when schools start reviewing applications. The reason I ask is I am a little worried about my chances for admission and I want to get my application in ASAP so I have a better change. The proble is I am taking the MCAT June 13 so I will not be able to complete my application until July 13 and fear that may be too late. Also how much of a negative do you think it is that I do not have any volunteer experience but have 80 - 120 hours of shadowing several different doctors.
Here are my worries:
1. no volenteer experience
2. not so great GPA (3.6)
My sterengths:
1. Lots of research experience (5 different projects in my carrer)
2. Should do well on MCAT 35+
3. Lots of extras when I was in school
4. completed a MA from one of the courties best schools
5. Since I am older and married with a kid I think that may also increase my chances.
Please give me any input you have on the application process as well as what I should do to beef up my application. I am scheuled to volunteer this summer in June but I may have to teach summer school which would ruin that idea.
Thanks
