hey guys!
Just got my mcat back recently and it wasn't as great as I hoped (508 overall: 127/128/128/125 - the soc part really screwed me over) I think I'm going to just take the gamble this cycle and apply even though the score's not that impressive so I was hoping for some advice on a school list. Since I'm willing to retake the mcat and re-apply next year if i dont get in anywhere this time around, i want to just stick with MD schools for now.
Stats/ECs/Clinical Experience:
cGPA: 3.85
sGPA: around a 3.7
MCAT: 508
2.5 years in neurobio lab with 1 publication
~80 hrs shadowing (w/ LOR)
2 TA positions so far (1 in Gen Chem and 1 in Ecology; going to be a biochem TA next semester)
Starting a clinical internship in a couple weeks (prob getting around 110 hrs over the summer which will continue into the school year)
4 years working with kids in a daycare (not health related but I do this as a hobby)
NY resident / asian female
I really want to stay in NYC area for personal reasons but am willing to apply to schools in nearby states
So far my list is:
Cornell
Mt. Sinai
NYU
SUNY Downstate
Hofstra
Stony Brook (I'm a stony undergrad)
NYMC
Albert Einstein
Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson
Drexel
Quinnipiac
Temple
Jefferson
Do you guys think i have at least a slim chance at any of these; i realize some of them are super reaches. And any other advice on schools to add?
Thank You!
