Hey everyone
I was wondering if I could get some honest feedback. I am a Canadian graduate from Queen's U with a 3.9 GPA but low Mcat 27 overall but 6 in verbal. I have above average ECs I think, lots of research, leadership, int'l volunteering, etc. I applied to about 8 American Allopathic med schools and have have been rejected from 2, on hold at 6. Do I have any shot whatsoever at those hold schools or I am just being hopefully optimistic? Should I send any update letters?
I also applied to a few DO schools in December but have yet to hear back, so growing a little anxious. Do int'l students with a 6 in verbal have a shot at DO in the states? Could my high GPA mitigate a low verbal score?
Over the past two years, I have turned down offers from the Carrib, England, Ireland and Australia because I feel that the path to return to N.A (Canada) in particular is too risky/difficult, especially with the investment in tuition. Again, I know it was a risk but I really want a North American education.
Thanks
