I agree with the above.
what were your undergraduate majors, gpa's, and mcat scores?
My stats:
Major: BS in Biological Sciences, concentration in Neurobiology/Physiology
Science and Cumulative UGPA: 3.4 (4.0 for post-baccalaureate work)
MCAT: 28P (09 VR, 07 PS, 12 BS)
I took a very non-traditional path to get to where I am now. I graduated college about 10 years ago with lots of undergraduate biomedical research experience, but went on to do and learn quite a few things. I eventually became a wellness coach and yoga/martial arts teacher before finally deciding to become a physician. I just turned 34 and will be a first year medical student at KCUMB starting this fall. I fell in love with everything at KCUMB during my interview and my gut told me in no uncertain terms that I would be happy there.
In terms of where to apply, the advice people seemed to consistantly give me was to apply very broadly, to all the places that I thought I'd attend and could live in geographically. Of course you may want to factor in the average GPA and MCAT score of these schools as well as the individual focuses and mission statements to help you decide where you want to apply.
Oh yeah, apply EARLY in the cycle, if possible. The early bird is more likely to get the worm of his choice in this process. I was lucky, however. I applied fairly late (in November), but somehow managed to get three interviews, two of which I attended, and ended up with an acceptance to an awesome school, one that I really love.
Good luck!
