Hello, I am interested in Applying to Medical Schools ASAP. But I have a DUI from May 2015. Actually I have criminal charges for Marijuana Possession and Paraphernalia, however I made a deal with the DA to lower it to a DUI. I am terribly sorry for what I have done.
cGPA: 3.6, sGPA: 3.8, MCAT: 36
B.S. Neurobiology from UW Madison, Worked in 2 Research Labs for 1 year each. Volunteered as a College Tutor and at the Madison Children's Museum. In High School I worked min wage as an after school Tutor/PeerMentor. Shadowed 40 hours of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery (saw Mitral valve replacement and Bypass) Ran a Marathon at 16. Asian
I applied during the 2014-2015 cycle and was rejected from various school such as the Medical College of Wisconsin. After rejection from schools I spent some time unemployed, mostly traveling to see family, Volunteered at Hospice care for a few months.
A variety of factors lead to my DUI in late May of 2015, primarily my final application rejection and a rough break-up.
Since June of 2015 to present (April 2016) I have been employed as an Honorary Associate in a Neurosurgery Lab at the UW Madison Hospital. I also work part-time at the Children's Museum and I volunteer at the Madison VA Emergency Dept.
I truly wish to become a doctor. I will have to take the new MCAT since my 2014 score will expire in 2017. What are my chances of getting in to a US School? More so, what can I do further to improve my chances given my DUI and record?
Thanks for your interest!
