I just wanted to see what you guys think of my chances of getting into an osteopathic medical school, and based off my scores, where I should be applying. I received my bachelors of Science in Nursing from The University of Alabama (ROLL TIDE) and have been working as a registered nurse in the open heart recovery unit and emergency department for two years. In addition, during these two years I have taken the additional coursework needed to apply to medical school.
I scored a 501 on the new MCAT and my cumulative/science GPA is 3.49/3.33. However, all of my post-baccalaureate classes I have a 3.5 GPA, which were all science courses. I have a large resume of community service and leadership roles in nursing school and my community. I have letters of recommendation from a well-known osteopathic physician and my professor letters are decent. What do you think my chances of getting interviews are? I have applied to ACOM, VCOM-Auburn, GA-PCOM, LECOM Bradenton, NSU-COM, VCOM- CC, LMU-DCOM, CUSOM, UP-KYCOM, WVSOM, RVUCOM, and PNWU-COM. I finished secondaries for all schools throughout the month of October, which I now is late.
Therefore, with all the information provided, what are my chances of being accepted? I already have one interview secured with ACOM. Where else should I apply, if any? Also, any recommendation for selling my vast medical experience in my interview without seeming too cocky? Any other tips for interviews? Thanks for the help!!
