3.42 uGPA, 3.64 gGPA, 510 MCAT

[williameb23]

I'd love your feedback - haven't received any interviews yet so mostly need a confidence-sustainer at this point!

C/P: 128
CARS: 127
B/B: 128
P/S: 127
Composite: 510, scored (and applied with) a 25 in August 2014

undergrad:
cGPA: 3.42 (2.8 Fr*, >3.8 Sr year)
sGPA: 3.35
graduate:
cGPA: 3.64, thesis-based MS Cell & Molecular Biology, finished in 1-year

*Low freshman/sophomore GPA mostly has to do with spreading myself too thin - I went OOS for college, was accepted into the piano performance program of which I had to drop out (too much work with daily practice and weekly lessons), as well as 15 h/week in the research lab.

- Re-applicant
- Honors College, mid-tier public university
- Volunteering in ER, urgent care, reproductive health, and 200 hours in clinical PT internship
- Lots of community involvement, board of directors for NPO, government advocacy group, science clubs in college, etc.
- 5 years of academic research, 3 publications
- Verified AMCAS in July, August MCAT, all secondaries and MCAT scores final/rec'd end of September
- Currently applying for HPSP military scholarship

Your odds will be best at
DO schools
Creighton University

In particular U of Minnesota, Rosalind, Quinnipac, Drexel and Creighton.

I would suggest adding more DO schools by December if you don't hear anything from MD's. Even with the upward trend, the overall GPA and the 25 on the first attempt make you a rather borderline candidate. You will have more success with DO's but it is possible an MD or two I listed offers you a II.
