Hi Everyone,
I come from an Ivy but have a 3.3 GPA, partly due to my intention to pursue a Ph.D. until midway through my Senior year, but mostly due to some problems with long-term chronic depression which was only diagnosed in my Senior year, at which point I started medication and therapy and got some As. I took the MCAT about six months after graduating and got a 40Q.
I'm working on secondaries now, having applied to 31 schools, which range from Loma Linda and Temple (not that they're not good schools) to
Tufts and UVA. Can anyone give me a feeling on whether or not I have a chance of getting in, and if so, where, so I can maybe not send back all the secondaries I get? (I didn't know before I applied that secondaries are sent out to pretty much all applicants, even before AMCAS verification.)
Thanks!
Lila
