Hi guys, last year you guys helped me figure out what to do after writing a bad first MCAT 123/120/124/125 for a total of 492. Nevertheless, I am a long time lurker and don't interact with you guys as much as I should. Anyways, I recently took the MCAT a second time and scored:126/123/126/126 for a 501 overall.
As a second generation Mexican American with a:
3.74 upward trend cGPA and a 3.8 sGPA
1.5 year and on-going of research with a poster presentation at Sigma Xi,
5 different leadership experiences each lasting longer than 4 months,
120 hours and on-going of non-medical volunteer work (with "high risk" grade school kids),
88 hours of physician shadowing (NICU and PEDS),
2190 and on-going of direct patient exposure working as a Behavioral Health Tech and a Critical Care Tech in the hospital,
what are my chances of being accepted primarily into an MD school good? I have been messing around with the Lizzy M and WARS score. According to the WARS guidelines, I should be applying to 30 schools and be considering applying to some DO. In your opinion, is 30 schools overkill, and how much consideration should I put into applying solely DO or at least what percent of schools should be DO?
