Hello! This is my first post on SDN and I am hoping to get some insight on the competitiveness of my application to DO and MD schools.
Here are my stats:
cGPA- 3.82
sGPA- 3.75(AACOMAS), 3.79 (AMCAS)
MCAT- 502 (126/124/124/128) *considering a retake, family member passed away right before test which caused me to put studying on hold
Non traditional Caucasian female applicant
4,000+ hours of paid clinical research
5 hours shadowing DO
60 hours shadowing in Europe
4 hours shadowing clinical psychologist
Worked in 2 different undergraduate labs
120 hours of clinical volunteering
LORs: 2 MDs, 1 supervisor, 2 SFs and committee letter
2 posters, working on a publication
Several leadership positions during undergrad
Live in New England
Is my application competitive enough with a low MCAT? Should I consider a retake? I have already submitted a bunch of secondaries and have only received one interview invitation, should I add more schools?
