Another non-trad here wondering what my chances are!
I'm 36 years old, which sounds old but really isn't. I run and do triathlons and this has been one of my major focuses over the years. I'm a massage therapist and also volunteer in the local hospital. I've taught english abroad, and lived and worked in several different countries, I speak several languages...I really want to go to a school that has some sort of focus on international medicine.
I just took the MCAT, got a 32, which is good but will not necessarily make up for my 3.28 GPA. I did pretty badly in my first degree, basically because I was unfocused, and had no clue what I wanted to do with myself, I think my GPA for that was just under a 3.0, but from a top liberal arts college.
In the past 2 years, I've completed my pre-med reqs plus some extras with a 3.95 (stupid A-) science GPA which dragged my total GPA up to 3.28.
What schools, if any, might look favorably on an applicant like me😱
