Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can offer some insight on my chances of getting accepted to a medical school and what tier of school.
I'm a 23 year old female, not from a disadvantaged background.
3.89 cumulative GPA, 3.92 science GPA
5000+ research hours at major research institutions (multiple harvard teaching hospitals and columbia teaching hospital)
I have one paper publication (third author) and multiple poster/abstract publications.
3000+ clinical hours, working with diverse populations... psychiatric, homeless, inmates.
I have been a TA for multiple courses
I volunteer 6 hours a week in addition to working 45 hours a week. I took my premed courses through a well-known postbac program while being involved with research on the side. And I graduated from a tier 1 university for undergrad.
I'm scheduled to take the MCAT in 10 days and I haven't been doing well on the practice tests. I expect I'll score around the 70th percentile, but I'm somewhat unsure since there isn't much to go off of.
All things considered, with a mediocre MCAT score, what are my prospects for medical schools? What schools would be realistic for me?
Thank you
