Hi guys, I'm a long time lurker here and would really like suggestions on how I can improve my future application to an MD school or DO school if I am left without any other options. Here are my stats:
cGPA:3.5 (counting P as C)
sGPA:3.3 (counting P as C)
MCAT: none yet
Relevant classes
Fresh year
GenChem1- A-
Precalc- A-
GenChem2- C
GenChemLab-A (my school said it was for 1 and 2 combined)
Calc1-C
Summer
GenChem2-A+
Soph year
Bio1- A-
Bio2- B+
Orgo1- A-
Summer
Orgo1lab- A
Calc2- A+
Junior fall
Orgo2- A
Cellbio- A
Phys1- P (my school says MD will count this as a C)
ECs
ER volunteer since sophmore year, I plan to have over 300 hours before applying
Will start EMT training at local community college this semester
Leadership position in a community service club at college
LORs
My classes are really huge and I've only managed 2 as of now. One from my orgo lab teacher and One bio recitation teacher. My volunteer supervisor said she will write me one and I am trying to get one from my biophys teacher next semester since its a smaller class.
I am also a double major in biochem and studioart which is pretty much my hobby.
I also would like to know if its bad if I wait till I graduate to take the MCAT. I plan on graduating in the spring of 2012 and taking it in September. I also plan on working in the hospital as a volunteer or EMT during this time
