Hello all,
Let me give a little preface before I begin. My stats are quite terrible, and believe me, I am very well aware of that. However, I would still like to apply this year because I might get lucky. I understand that it will increase my chances if I apply next year or rewrite my MCAT, but please, just focus on what I already decided to do: apply this year.
Stats:
UG at University of Toronto St. George - Physiology Specialist
Ontario resident
AMCAS GPA:
1st year: 3.09
2nd year: 3.67
3rd year: 3.87
Top two years: 3.77
Total: 3.58
sGPA: 3.55
MCAT: 28 (PS10/VR8/BS10)
ECs: 3 research projects (one manuscript in progress), 5 conferences, physician shadowing, 2 awards, 4 volunteer positions, president/founder of an undergrad club.
Having said that, it is quite clear my chances are zero in Canada. However, I am trying to put my full weight in the AMCAS application by applying to 30ish schools or more. I compiled a list of schools based on MSAR data and organized them by ordering them from the smallest sum to the largest sum of 10th percentile GPA, median GPA, 10th percentile MCAT total and median MCAT total. I will not be posting specific numbers about the schools so I do not look like I'm distributing their work, unless that's considered okay, I don't know lol. Also, the bold schools have 10th percentile MCAT higher than 28 (I will post that bit of info beside them).
Here is the list,
Howard University College of Medicine
Meharry Medical College
Central Michigan University College of Medicine
West Virginia University School of Medicine
Michigan State University College of Human Medicine
University of Utah School of Medicine
Loma Linda University School of Medicine
University of Illinois College of Medicine
University of Louisville School of Medicine
Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans
University of California, Davis, School of Medicine
George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences
Medical College of Wisconsin
New York Medical College
Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine
Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine
University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine
Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science
University of Minnesota Medical School
Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine
Rutgers, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
Wayne State University School of Medicine
University of Kentucky College of Medicine (29)
Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University (29)
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine
The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University
State University of New York Upstate Medical College
Saint Louis University School of Medicine
Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (29)
Georgetown University School of Medicine (30)
University of Connecticut School of Medicine (29)
University of Maryland School of Medicine (29)
University of California, Los Angeles David Geffen School of Medicine
University of Colorado School of Medicine (30)
Stony Brook University School of Medicine (29)
Tulane University School of Medicine (31)
Tufts University School of Medicine (30)
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth (30)
Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (30)
Please tell me which of the above schools are unattainable beyond reason (pretty obvious that the last 6 should probably be deleted, but I would like to see your input). I should have 30-35ish schools max, unless I have a good chance at all of them Oh and, I repeat, I am not a US citizen or permanent resident, so I guess count me as an international or an out of state hybrid.
Thank you in advance!
