I also have slightly under a year of research experience, over 200 hours of volunteering experience (about 60 of which was shadowing) and multiple other leadership and extra-curricular activities. I'm also going to be doing an SMP, but am applying the summer before I start (now), so not sure how big of a difference that will make.
I'm taking the MCAT on July 30 and am aiming for a 32+. Let's say, hypothetically, I end up with a 32. How then would my chances look at a school like UMDNJ (I am a NJ resident)? This is also taking into consideration that I'm taking the MCATs late thus applying late for this cycle.
Also, should I send out my primary applications now and then update them with an MCAT score when I get it, or is it better to wait until I get the MCAT score to send them at all?
