Hi all, need some advice. I was pre-med at an Ivy, my sophomore year a good friend committed suicide. I managed it very poorly, was depressed, got Fs in orgo and physics but got a good MCAT score. In the 7 years since I've been working as a scientist for a pharma company and I have an MBA in healthcare management. Undergrad GPA 2.9 (with the Fs), 3.5 in my MBA, upward trend, and I'm non-URM. MCATs are 11 across the board, have great LORs, great volunteering, two publications, very motivated, etc.
Do I have a realistic chance at an MD? I understand I can replace courses in a DO, but I want to know specifically about an MD. Should I retake the two classes, or does the high MCAT show competence?
I am confident I can do the work now if I have a chance, I just got steamrolled by a tough situation when I was young. I want to be a psychiatrist, if that helps.
