Alright, I just got back my first MCAT scores...not too happy...I'm definitely going to retake, but I wanted to see how bad of a position I've put myself in if I have to apply with this score.
MCAT- 28R: 9 PS, 10 VR, 9 BS, R WS
GPA- BCPM-3.55, Cum.-3.70
Awards/Societies-Golden Key, NSCS, Magna Cum Laude, Pre-Med AMSA, Tradition of Excellence (from high school), National Merit (also high school), President's List (4.0) some semesters, Honors College, and some other unimportant clubs, honors thesis in nanotechnology and nanocapsule drug delivery systems in oncological diagnosis and treatment...
ECs:
-2 yrs IM tennis, 1 year hockey, 1 yr cricket
-Volunteer 12-15 hrs/month summers 05-08 (175 total?)
-United Way volunteering ~50 hrs over 1 year
-Nanotechnology research 1 yr 10 hrs/week
-Volunteering religious organization 2 summers (~50 hrs total)
-Shadowed cardiologist, GI, oncologist, IM physicians-total of about 150 hrs
In other words, I really didn't do too much outside college besides study, debate whether or not to study, or not study...so based on these very average stats, what do you all think of my chances to get into low-mid level med. schools, and these DO schools?
MD: USF, UF, U Miami, FSU, UCF, FIU, GWU, Georgetown, Tufts, BU, Rosalind Franklin, Rush, Wayne St., NYMC, U. Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Cincinatti, Connecticut, Penn St., Jefferson, Temple, Buffalo, SUNY Upstate/Downstate/Stony Brook, St. Louis U, Wake Forest, Rochester, UMass, UNC, Mayo, Einstein
D.O.: Philadelphia COM, GA-PCOM, Chicago COM, Texas COM, MSU COM
Also, if I was able to raise my MCAT to around a 32(I got the 28 w/o putting in much effort, which was really stupid on my part), would I have a decent shot to get in somewhere? I don't really care where I go to medical school, I just want to get into 1 school...thanks for all the replies, I'm just really worried that the 28, if not improved, will pretty much kill my chances for a stateside MD school...
