I need advice on whether to reapply this upcoming cycle or go to international med school.
i graduated 2018 and am a texas resident. I have applied 3 times
i have taken the MCAT 3 times (old to most recent): 502, 507, 512
cgpa: 3.71
Sgpa: 3.6
i am currently a scribe for scribe america and have been working for the past 2 years. I have over 1500 hours scribing
For leadership:
I have been a volunteer coordinator for an all womens premed program, a community service coordinator
Awards:
I was a part of hosa and have awards from competing
Volunteering:
I volunteered at TCH and have only 50 hours
I don’t have any non medical community service hours
Shadowing:
40 hours of shadowing a pediatrician
Research:
I have research from germany and have a publication and presentation
I have been doing research at a hospital for the past year
for extra curriculars:
Filipino student association
Helping refugees move into new homes program
Intramural dodgeball
after graduating in 2018, i was accepted into teach for america but had to decline to care for my brother that next year due to sudden illness he develwhich is why i started scribing for scribe america instead
the only update to my application this cycle would be our submissions for research for 2 presentations and a manuscript that have yet to be accepted
idk if this is relevant either but i am getting tested to donate a kidney for my brother
the only things i see my application lacking is community service which it has been hard to find community service opportunities due to covid but i have applied to some programs
what do you think i should do? I have been considering going to international medical school for all 4 years, going there and trying to transfer back, or trying to reapply one last time this upcoming cycle.
