Not a minority or URM. At a top 30 undergrad school.
No C's in any courses. (Does the distribution of grades matter? I have mostly B's, with As in physics taken over the summer at another university. One B- in anatomy).
Took a Kaplan practice MCAT going in raw (no studying) and got a 28 (7 BS, 12 VR, 9 PS). Is this a good representative of how I'll do in the future?
I'm an econ major graduating in December (taking an extra semester because withdrew at the end of my last semester due to a car accident... how badly does this look?).
Planning on moving home, studying for the MCAT full time/taking a prep course once a graduate while holding a part-time clinically related job and/or volunteering to boost my application.
I'm currently enrolled in 2 science courses-- intro to biochem, which I'm currently on solid track for an A in, and genetics, which I'm on track for a B+ in but could improve. 2 A's would boost my sGPA to a 3.43
Thoughts on my post grad plans? What to do to boost my application? My current chances if I apply next year? Will my MCAT be able to make a big difference?
I'm thinking about applying to postbacc programs, particularly ones with linkages. My chances for those?
