I know this gets asked a lot but everybody's different so I hope you don't mind me asking about my situation. I would like to know if my chances are moderately feasible or only slightly feasible. So I came up with a list of my assets and liabilities:
Assets:
Grad school GPA of 3.95 - MS degree
Postbac prereq GPA of 4.0 (hopefully) - unofficial postbac program
5 years college teaching experience
Successful small business owner
Cancer survivor
Losing one eye - survivor (asset??)
Worked in field of computer science 5 years
Liabilities:
Undergrad GPA of 2.91 - 10 years ago
Recovering alcoholic
One DUI misdemeanor
One false statement misdemeanor
Unknown: I don't know how an admissions committee views these:
Age: 32 now, 34 at start of med school
8 year marriage
4 year old child
Recovery from depression
Lastly, I'm in CO and there is only one med school in CO. They accept 175/2000 applications, less than 10%. If my chances are less than average and I can't get in to my one state school do I really stand a chance at out of state schools?
Thanks!
