Hello all,
Graduated in 2011 from a top 50 state university
cGPA-3.85ish
BCMP-3.95
MCAT- PS9 VR8 BS11 = 28
State Residency- CA
Clinical hours- 200hrs
Shadowing- 50 hrs
Research- 2~3 years
Short term mission experience
Current work- clinical lab associate (help docs talk to patients who aren't fluent in english)
LOR- 2 sci prof, 1 non sci prof, 1 research prof,1 from my supervisor (he's a doctor)
This is my first time applying. I know the MCAT will hold me back for MD acceptances...especially in state med schools (stupid CA residency..)
Assuming I apply early, do I have a fighting chance for an MD school? Is it enough to warrant a retake in July or August? How much of a set back due to the MCAT score?
