Age: 23
Undergrad University: Florida Atlantic University

Sex: Female
Ethnicity: Middle Eastern (immigrant)
MCAT: 498 (124,123,127,124)
Undergrad GPA: 3.26
Science Undergrad GPA: 3.15
Graduate GPA: 4.0, masters' of biomedical sciences with a thesis in alzheimer's disease (thesis was published following graduation)
5 letters of recommendation: 1 from pharmacist (boss), 1 from DO, 2 from graduate science professors, 1 from psychology professor whom I worked under during a direct independent study during undergrad
Experience: 6 years pharmacy technician experience (licensed in FL and MI), cofounder of NPO based in Detroit with the mission of helping inner city youth with reading comprehension, masters thesis, graduate teaching assistant for 3 subjects (med term, general bio lab, and gen chem 1 lab), cognitive psychology research assistant, OR Research assistant, poster presentation, thesis publication (listed 12 experiences on AACOMAS and 2 in achievements, didn't list all of my experiences just the most noteworthy ones)
Applied to AACOMAS June 17, 2018. Received a supplemental application from NYITCOM and completed within 9 days.
I applied to 23 schools. I'm most worried about NYITCOM, MSUCOM, UNECOM, KCU, Western (CA), RVU, LECOM, NSUCOM, and WVU
I know my academics in my undergrad may not be great, and my MCAT could be better, but I increased by 6 points from when i originally took it (mostly in bio, 29% to 75%) and I figured I had a strong chance considering my work/research experience and my masters & thesis publication. what do you guys think? I'm very nervous but I'm being encouraged by others that there is a chance considering I applied to a bunch of schools.
