I just found out that I am going to have to apply in 2009 for fall 2010 entrance and am a bit disappointed to lose a year. However, if I am rejected from all schools I apply to then I don't know if I can handle it, ( apply again for 2011 but if you fail again? Then dream of medicine is finished because you need to start a career)
So here are my stats, please let me know if I got a good shot of getting in anywhere.
3.97 GPA with 1 semester left, my Science GPA is 3.93 and I am hoping to be able to get an A- in physics 2, Bio chem and an A in medical terminology, thus finishing me at 3.95 GPA total and 3.9 science GPA.
I am currently studying for the MCAT and thing that I can get 11 PS, 12 BS 12 VR, (perhaps 13 on VR) for 35 total, (36 if I rock a 13 VR) 35 MCAT is in the top 1% of 2007 matriculants and 36 is in top .2% of 2007 matriculants.
My EC are limited to ER volunteering and I hope to be able to shadow some of the docs who work there as well.
After I finish my semester I hope to get a job with ACR working with disabled individuals to add further clinical experience.
As for my personal statement I feel that I can hit it out of the park because of an experience I had in the ER talking to a grandmother with cancer.
It was the most moving experience of my life, (I brings tears whenever I recall it) and cemented my desire to devote my life to the service of others in a medical capacity.
After I have finished this semester I will study my ass of for the MCAT, (planning of finishing Exam Krackers review and verbal 101 as well as practice essay, 3 real MCATs this summer, 4 Real MCATS before the actual test in january)
Any ideas as to much chances?
The schools I will defintely apply to: (Most based on being able to drive to interview)
Good chance schools(I hope)
U of Minnesota Twin Cities, (I am a MN resident and it seems like most state schools do favor locals)
U of Iowa Carver
U of Wisconsin
Medical College of Wisconsin
U of North Dakota
U of South Dakota
Long Shot
Harvard Med ( would be cool as hell to get in but acceptance rate is 3% and 57% of matriculants are minorities so actuall chance is closer to 2% for a white guy)
Safety school: Public Minnesota School focused on rural family med, (I am interested in internal and or family practice) with average GPA for matriculants 28.2 and GPA 3.62,
U of Minnesota Duluth: though the acceptance rate is actually lower than U of M TC, 4.36% for Duluth and 5.92% for TC.
