Here goes. My academic history is attached if you guys wanna look at my grades. I am a CA resident and ORM(these 2 things are so not helping my chances) So gist is
AACOMAS sGPA:3.2-4
AACOMAS cGPA:3.2-4
calculated using this excel
AACOMAS GPA Calculator (Revised)
AMCAS sGPA: 3.2-4
AMCAS CGPA: 3.2-4
calculated using this excel
AMCAS GPA Calculator (Revised)
MCAT: (29) just got my scores today
university: UC
clinical exposure: volunteering and shadowing (definitely need more of this)
volunteer: tutor high school kids and help out distributing food to people in need.
research: one publication so far and possibly more coming
MD or DO preference?: I've shadowed both and think both are great equal options for me
I feel like my chances are back of the pack, slim to none.
Do you guys think I should
roll the dice on what I have now on the next cycle(if so, what schools would you recommend? I plan on going over the MSAR and the DO equivalent of it later on but just wanted your opinion)
or
retake the MCAT 2014 in January
or
take MCAT 2015
and/or
take post bac classes?
I really wanna stay in the south west coast because I love this weather so much. I've lived in CA all my life and LOVE this 70 F weather all year round but I know I have absolutely no shot at the UC's.
Thanks for your help guys. Now rip me apart
