Hey everyone, just trying to figure out if I should submit secondaries for my school list now that I have my MCAT scores in. My AMCAS is verified and I'm starting to get all the secondaries. Below I'll list my stats and info about me
-3.4 AMCAS cGPA and BCPM
-Upward trend the past 2 years of a 3.72
-503 MCAT
-28 years old having served 5 years in the Marine Corps infantry having been deployed to Iraq
-Leadership experience of being a non-commissioned officer in the Marine Corps (corporal) including during my deployment. Received an award for my leadership and actions during combat operations. Also I am a supervisor with the Red Cross
-Clinical experience of being an EMT for 3 years now and working full time for 2 years. Also volunteer with the Red Cross First Aid Service Team, which we provide first aid and BLS care for social events (football games, concerts, basketball games, festivals, etc)
-During the gap year I am in a paramedic course that lasts a year and I'll be certified as a paramedic when done.
-No research experience, trying to get involved in some pre-hospital EMS research
-Ohio resident
-50 hours shadowing
-Volunteering with the Red Cross and a community clinic
-School List:
Ohio University
Cincinnati
Ohio State
Northeastern
Wright State
Toledo
Michigan (huge reach I know haha)
Rosalind Franklin
Eastern Tenn State
Loyola
Rush
New York Medical College
Albany
George Washington
Dartmouth
Drexel
Thomas Jefferson
U of Miami
Quinnipiac
Wake Forrest
-I'm still searching through the DO's I want to apply to. There aren't much in Ohio so that's why only OU is on my list right now
Like I said, trying to figure out if there are any on that list I shouldn't waste the money on the secondaries
