Hello I am applying to medical school soon and I am looking for advice on where to apply for reaches, attainable schools, and safe schools.
White male, 28 years old
Undergrad and Post-Bacc at Ohio State
Undergrad 3.0 cGPA (Political Science, Pre-Law track)
DIY Post-Bacc 3.9 sGPA
3.4 cGPA (3.0 undergrad + 3.9 Post-Bacc)
519 MCAT
Worked in finance for 4 years (associate banker at JP Morgan Chase & Co. and a 2 year paid internship at a local financial advising company in Columbus). I took a leap of faith and quit my job to pursue a career in Hollywood as a producer and then COVID happened and left me without a home or a job. I lived in my car for 3 months traveling the east coast United States in an attempt to clear my head and find my purpose. It was during this time that I spoke with a psychiatrist about the depression/anxiety I had had since middle school and was initially reluctant to take medication but I ended up doing it at the persuasion of a close family member and it changed my life. For the first time in a long time I felt like I had a certain clarity about my life I didn’t have before. It was during this time I wrapped up my travels, moved back to Columbus, Ohio and started taking pre med classes at OSU with the goal of becoming a psychiatrist to help others in the same way that psychiatrist helped me.
Thank you
