Hey guys!
So I guess I'll post my stats and take any and all advice I can get to make me a more competitive applicant
3.2 sGPA 3.0 cGPA Physics major Classics minor
Residency: MA
I had a rough freshman year... but I picked up my grades and have been getting about 3.5s every semester beyond my first 2. I know these grades are low =(
I got a 27S on the MCAT (9-9-9) will the S help me at schools? I know thats a really high score so would medical schools be willing to give me a little slack?
I have 3 amazing recommendations, 1 doctor (Family practice which I want to go into!), 1 Physics professor (the chair of the department), and one classics professor (also the chair).
My ECs
I've been volunteering at an ER for about 4 hours a week since senior year of HS.
I work 8hrs a week at a neurologists office doing clerical work.
I have started research last summer but don't have any presentations!
I also tutor/mentor underprivileged children in my city.
I also volunteer at the homeless shelter with my church every other Sunday for about 6-8 hours depending on how popular we are .
I know my GPA isn't that high, and my MCAT isn't impressive but I really hope they'll see my ECs and give me some slack.
Any and all help is welcome, I'm not going to give up on becoming a doctor even if it takes me a very long time!
Thanks,
Slither
