Like most premed undergrads I took the MCAT my junior year of college, but due to a multitude of factors I didn't prepare well and scored a 503. I gave up on medicine and decided I would try my hand at hospital administration. I spent two years earning a master's degree in nonprofit administration, and during those two years I was the graduate assistant for a college lacrosse team. A number of experiences brought me back to a career in medicine. After I finished grad school (May 2018) I studied for the MCAT and scored a 517. I didn't apply in Fall 2018, and decided I would apply in next cycle (2019-2020). In theory I would start med school Fall 2020 at the age of 26. I am currently working as a research assistant at a hospital, most of the job is direct patient interaction on inpatient units. During the downtime on my job I have the ability to shadow internal med docs. I have a 3.96 undergrad gpa, and a 4.0 in my graduate program. Anyone with similar experiences? Any recommendations on where I should apply? How I should spend my next year before med school?
