Hello all,
Just thought that I'd 'give back' since I've made it through my 1st year at med school. Here is my backgroud:
Ethnicity:African American
Age: 30-ish
School: A top 30 research school (I'll keep this private to avoid any problems)
MCAT Score: 30
GPA: I went to a postbac program, and got a 3.8
I've been through a lot of stuff, and can probably address most of the questions out there. I'll try to answer any questions you may have, in particular, regarding:
1) Chances of getting into med school
2) What to look out for as a URM
3) How to choose med school
4) What med school is like (the good, bad, ugly)
5) How to succeed
6) All minority issues (you name it, I've gone through it)
Just feel free to post your questions, and I'll answer them as soon as possible. I feel that this is a chance for me to share what has been given to me, in the hopes that other people succeed.
