Hey guys, I'm a little worried about my score in VR. The graphs provided above did give me a little more comfort (60% chance of acceptance based on overall GPA and MCAT score of 29) but I wanted to get some more input.
Bio 11
Phy 11
VR 7
29O
GPA 3.7
Science GPA (pre 2005) 3.8
Post-Bac GPA (all sciences) 4.0
Substantial volunteer hours, home health care provider, started a nonprofit to provide life assistance to uninsured and underinsured citizens of my community, Masters in Business and CPA (earned and used in my past post-bac life), substantial shadowing hours, sit on a couple of health care related committees in my community, ~5 good LORs.
I know my verbal isn't ideal but I don't feel I could raise it much without risking losing a point or two from the sciences. My advisor recommended me to fire off the applications and roll the dice based on my resume. I'm not looking for Harvard but am aiming for MD. I'm thinking of applying to ~17 schools and believe I will excel if given the interview opportunity. My advisor also told me I might have more success with private schools that tend to perform more of a holistic review. Anybody, care to state my chances???
