not sure if this is the right place to post, but just lmk!
I applied to 20 MD schools this 2022-2023 cycle, and am currently waitlisted at a couple schools. While I'm stuck in WL purgatory I thought I'd start preparing to re-apply for the 2024-2025 cycle. How can I strengthen my app? I'm thinking about doing a post-bacc/masters to raise my GPA and potentially retake my MCAT but wanted to know what y'all thought.
State: TX
Demographics: ORM/Asian
GPA: 3.6 / sGPA: 3.4
Major/School: biochem at a T20
MCAT: 507, 512
ECs:
Clinical:
84 hrs shadowing across 2-3 specialties
240 hrs hospital volunteering
3000+ hrs scribing
Non-clinical:
186 hrs miscellaneous volunteering at fundraisers, etc
250 hrs Red Cross volunteer
220 hrs church volunteering
Research:
1000+ hrs across 2-3 labs, no publications
thanks in advance!
