Hey everyone, thanks for taking a look and I will try to make this short and to the point.
Graduated high school, went to college for a few years and didn't do well. Joined the military as a Navy Corpsman. Active duty for 8 years. Combat medic with 2 deployments to Afghanistan with USMC infantry. Also 2 yrs working in family medicine and 2 years working in anesthesia.
I then decided I wanted to pursue medical school. Started going back to school doing all prereqs. Did a bunch of retakes and pulled my grades up and graduated with my BA summa cum laude. My last ~ 90 credits are at a ~3.9.
cGPA - 3.23 and sGPA - 3.72.
1st MCAT (2015) - 488. Took a year off to figure out my deficits and worked on test anxiety
2nd MCAT (2016) - 506
Im applying broadly. MA resident. I can elaborate if there are questions but my story is long as I am now 30, so I wanted to be as concise as possible. Thanks for the help. @Goro your wisdom is highly appreciated!
