Guys, i need some advice, perhaps some common sense knocked into me.
I got accepted to ACOM but i have to tell them if i am going by Monday. I have not gotten any other acceptances.
I have already re-submitted my application to AMCAS and AACOMAS and have gotten 2 secondaries. My application is MUCH stronger this year. Before, i did not have any LORs from a clinical experience but i do now, i didnt have ANY patient exposure, but i do now, and i have been working in a genetics lab full-time for 6 months.
Should i just go to ACOM or should i try again? ACOM is nice, but it is far away from my family and not what i imagined.
From what i can tell, my biggest black mark is a C- in one of my Organic chemistry classes (I do have a biochem class that could take its place for some schools but its a C+). my GPA is 3.3 and my science GPA is 3.07(ouch, i know), i got a 32 on the MCAT. I have 100 hours of research from a few semesters of research under a professor at my school. I have about 60 hours shadowing 2 different doctors (a general surgeon and a pediatrician). 30 hours of patient exposure, and 60 hours of volunteer work at a local library.
