Anything else not listed you think might be important
I have a somewhat complicated background on my path to coming to the U.S., lived in multiple countries/continents and attended local schools. As a result I am bilingual and am familiar with eastern and western cultural differences.
Any advice is appreciated, I am the first person in my family to pursue medicine in the US, so I did not have anyone to really talk to for applications other than advisors. My main questions are: when applying, should I basically just look at average matriculant GPA/MCAT and apply to those that fit my scores? Or is there another criteria I should follow? Any good recommendations? I am currently hoping for MD, and will likely apply 75% MD 25% DO
Thank you sirs and mams
