Chances at Bryn Mawr/Goucher

Hi everyone,
I was hoping for some advice on my chances of getting into a top post-bacc program.
My stats:
McGill University undergrad, economics & business. GPA 3.47.
SAT: 1450 (out of 1600)
GRE: 770 math, 550 verbal.
LSAT: 165

career/experience: I graduated 2 years ago and have been working at a hedge fund since then with some solid leadership experience. I have been volunteering at a local hospital but only for the past few months. Back in high school, I volunteered with the local ambulance corp for 3 years and also with a local nursing home.

reason/motivation for career switch: I was interested in medicine when I was younger. Had life-saving surgery when I was 14, which is why I did the ambulance corp in high school and had aspirations of being a doctor. When I got to college I was not sure what to do so decided to pursue economics. Recently, I have realized this is not for me, and I want to pursue med school.

Basically I'm wondering if there is any chance I would be admitted to these programs. If not, what might I do to increase my chances? I think my volunteer/medical experience is probably the weakest factor, though my GPA is not great either.

Thanks everyone!

You sound like a pretty good candidate. Your GPA is on the low side for these programs, but your test scores are good. have you taken any science courses?

Thanks for the feedback.

Nope, no university science courses (unless you count AP classes in high school...)

apply early and you should have a shot. Get a lot of clinical/medical experience as well as that will offset your potentially lower GPA.
