Hello, I was wondering what my chances were for this medical school application cycle. This is my first post, so I'm not very familiar with this site.
African American Female attending a usual public university (nothing special). Michigan Resident.
3.69 cGPA, 3.48 sGPA, 509 MCAT
Low GPA, I know, but I have taken higher level science courses such as physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and cellular biology and received A's. First year was not the best for me.
Extracurricular:
I unfortunately don't have any research
I have LOR from one science professor, one honors English professor, one doctor from my scribing job, one volunteer director, one previous employer from the ambassador job, one advisor, and one from my program director of the sexual health peer education program. This was the best I could get.
Possible Medical Schools
Georgetown University School of Medicine
Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine at Hofstra University
Indiana University School of Medicine
Michigan State University
Morehouse School of Medicine
Rush Medical College
The Ohio State Univ. Coll. of Med.
University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
University of Michigan Medical School
University of Rochester School of Medicine and Den
University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Greenville
Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University
Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine
I realize there are a lot of high reaches in this list...
I was wondering if this was a good list of schools and if there were any other schools I should consider as well. Also, I'm open to any advice or recommendations. Thank you!
