Hello all... I'll make this short and sweet.
Undergrad @ university of maryland GPA: 2.786 with a small steady rise during my latter semesters. (first two years was an engineer major and never recovered from my terrible gpa)
Post Bac @ VCU: 3.88 (got a 4.0 the first semester and one B in a dumb elective with a backwards professor 2nd semester)
MCAT: scheduled July 18th (aiming for 30 or higher but lets say something goes wrong and I get a 25 lol)
LOR: 3 Grad professors and a DO hopefully
EC:
- shadowed a nephrologist for a summer
- shadowed a general practitioner for a winter
- rescue squad in high school
- volunteered at a hospital for 70 hrs
- shadowing a DO cardiothoracic surgon this summer
- Researching Melatonin in GI tract
- Public Relations Officer for a large student organization (MSA)
- mother and brother are MD's if that helps any haha
So do I have a shot? I am going to apply everywhere I can. I probably wont be able to have everything sent until mid august when my MCAT scores come out. Your thoughts and advice will be MUCH APPRECIATED.
Thanks so much and I love this site!
