So here is what I have so far:
I am applying this June (2015)
I have a 3.41 gpa in Biology, I am going to take the MCAT in April, was going to take the last old MCAT in January but realized I was not ready.
I intend on applying to 15+ schools.
I do not meet the requirements for a committee letter from my college.
I have an upwards trend in grades.
I have three strong recommendation letters from professors.
I have a year of experience volunteering with my first aid squad and currently am in EMT school.
I have volunteered at a research lab for six months.
Worked at a fertility clinic full time for six months.
Was a peer tutor in an anatomy lab for six months.
I have a disadvantaged financial status, no one in my family has even received a bachelors degree.
I also did not decide to go to medical school until my last semester of my junior year in college.
What should I aim as far as MCAT?
Do I have any chance of making it in to MD? I would like to do MD because my interest lies more in surgery, and there seems to be more residency opportunities as an MD, but at the end of the day I want to be a doctor regardless so it does not matter to me whether I do MD/DO.
What are my chances?
