If you guys could tell me my chances honestly I'd be really grateful. Ive been out of school for 2 years, and messed up some in college but I want to turn my life around. I'm planning to apply to pod school next year in August. If you guys could tell me my chances I'd be grateful.
Schools: Scholl would be my top choice, but Im going to apply to all of the schools.
cGPA-3.2
sGPA-3.0
MCAT- Taking it in April, but on my practice tests I've been around 505 pretty reliably.
Currently shadowing a podiatrist. 30 hours down so far.
Lots of biology/biochemistry research, lots of volunteering on record with room for more.
So, my basic question is do I have a shot as is, or I am I deluding myself. Would I need a post bacc/masters to even come close?
Honestly just get a solid MCAT score and have super awesome interviews and you should have no problem getting into at least one school. The GPA's aren't too great, so a solid MCAT will help you out a lot. Those other grad programs wouldn't hurt if they could bring up your GPA some. To say whether or not you have a shot, I'd say that primarily depends on what you get in April - but that's quite a while to have the application sitting around for this cycle.
