Hi! I recently graduated from undergrad and wanted to know if I have a chance in applying for MD schools. As seen in my stats, I've switched from pre-pharm to pre-med a year ago. I've already submitted my primary before the MCAT score release (not verified yet). If it's a better option, I'm also considering applying for the next cycle instead of this cycle with an improved MCAT score and more clinical experience (especially ~50 hours of shadowing mainly in primary care). Thank you in advance for taking the time to review my post!
