I am a NJ resident(but born and raised in new york city) I attend a local liberal arts college in South Jersey. I currently have a 3.97sGPA and a 3.93 cGPA as a senior; my major is biology (but I have about 5 biochemistry classes with a chemistry minor). I chose this school because of the scholarship they gave me as well as how close to home it is. I got into very good schools but i decided I wanted to get my BS over with with as little debt as possible. I hope it doesn't bite me in the ass when I go to apply.
I am set to take my MCAT in 2 weeks. I know i'm going to be incredibly late for this cycle but I'd rather take a chance and spend a few bucks. I am scoring consistent 10-12's on PS and BS but my verbal is not horrendous but its not the best; I think on test day Ill have more focus than I do studying at home.
I have over 500 hours of medical internship and I am a founding father of a fraternity. I am an editor for the school news paper and I have one semester of computational research on drug design. I don't have alot of research but I work at an R&D pharmaceutical chemistry lab. I have all the research techniques and lab etiquette that would have been gained from doing research. I also completed SMDEP at Duke.
I would like to know my shots at an Ivy league school like Dartmouth or Cornell...I would really like to get into an NJ school but I know its very late. I sent 3/4 of my life in New York(Queens) so I wanted to know if a SUNY school would still favor me as a product of New York. I am graduating a semester early so Ill have a full time job at the pharma lab while i wait for admissions decisions.What would be the MCAT cut off in order to gain acceptance into some mid tier MD's and even some upper level MD's and also what about the MCAT for some research heavy DO schools; although I havent done much research I am still interested in it, my school did not have many opportunities for me to conduct research but I did what I could. I think ill have 3 outstanding LOR's as well.
Thank You
