[AvicennaMED]

Hello,

I am a Virginia resident graduated with a 3.84 cumulative GPA and 3.86 scGPA. My parents are central asian. My MCAT score is 509 (128/124/128/129) (I am not so great with CARS).

I have received my B.S. in Biology
160 hours of volunteering at the hospital
300 hours of leadership in a health club
200 hours of volunteering at a health club (diabetes testing events, blood pressure events, soup kitchens, kid nutrition events)
30 hours of volunteering with a science club
50 hours of shadowing (2 physicians)
600 hours of working (Retail and Office Assistant)
700 hours of research (500 at psychology department and 200 at psychiatry department)
- 1 coauthor publication, 1 first author (both from the research conducted at the psychology department)

I have also received a scholarship from the U.S. Department of State

My question is: Since my CARS is low, what are my chances at the MD schools listed below?

This is the list of schools I have compiled:

VCU
UVA
EVMS
Howard
George Washington
Georgetown
Jefferson
Penn State
Albany
Wake Forest
WVU
Drexel
Temple
NOVA MD
Duke
UNC

Thanks in advance for your help!
