I recently decided to do medicine, but I'm a senior now in Rutgers with biotechnology major. I have a 2.98 sGPA and 3.19 cGPA. I have Bs and Cs in bio,chem, physics, orgo, and systems physiology. My only A in science is in microbiology, and two semesters of physics labs. I have plenty of wet lab research experience(~2.5-3 yrs), for I worked at a lab since freshman year, and researched for credits there too. I have no clinical experience or community service. I am however president of an organization on campus. I feel my application is not even close to being competitive.
I also plan on doing research at the same lab over the summer, and study for mcats. I realize a good MCAT score(35) might make it hopeful, but is that enough? I will definitely volunteer for 6-8 months at the local hospital before I apply. In the year off, I plan to work.
Should I consider moving forward for applying to medical schools or forget about it and do something else?
