3.74 Sgpa
3.52 cgpa
27 mcat (8/10/9)
B.S. in biology, minor in chemistry
Post-bacc ADN in Nursing.
Louisiana resident...I applied a few years ago with a 23 mcat and obviously wasn't successful. Went to nursing school and worked 3 jobs to pay for it. Before nursing, my cgpa was 3.8, but working so much and studying for the mcat didn't allow for As in clinical.
I have an original publication. Since applying the first time, I have 520 hours as an ER tech, several hundred hours as an RN, an improved mcat score, but a lower cgpa.
The state MD schools I have applied to have an average acceptance s/cgpa of 3.6 and mcat of 27-28. Do I stand a good shot?
I don't mind applying to DO schools, as some of the best docs I've worked with were DOs, but you can't beat an in-state public school's tuition.
My biggest weakness will be my grade trend, but I think if given an interview, I have a reasonable explanation for it.
Think I stand a chance?
