Here are my statistics:
MCAT 37, balanced score.
cGPA: 3.81.
sGPA: 3.83.
Hospital volunteer (400+ hours)
Shadowed eight physicians (both MD and DO) over the course of 3 years. (200+ hours.)
2 years research experience (no publications).
3 strong LoRs (2 science, 1 non-science).
3 years tutoring calculus and other higher level mathematics courses.
2 years Miscellaneous community service around my university's area (soup kitchen, etc.).
EMT-B certification with 2 years experience on local volunteer squad.
Currently doing Teach for America in the midwest as a Chemistry teacher.
The only major drawback to my application is that I have 8 Ws from years ago, when I was taking care of a sick and dying relative and couldn't handle the course load.
I'd appreciate any insight. Barring the 8 Ws, how does my application otherwise look?
I'm considering applying for positions at research labs (taking a couple gap years), because I'd like to pursue MD/PhD
