Hello!
I am a URM, and I am junior at a large university. I want to take my MCAT and apply in the summer but I am a bit worried about my stats. My science GPA is probably around a 2.7-2.8. My CumGPA is around a 3.2 currently with a non science major. I have done a lot of leadership activities (executive boards, leadership programs, mentor programs, etc), I just started volunteering a hospital every week, my job is medically related, and I have done over 500 hours of non medical community service. I am just worried about my GPA. The one thing that really attributed to my low grades was a blood disorder. I have had it for years and in college, it has caused me to be hospitalized many times and has caused a vehicle accident that I was in. The side effects of the medicine hinders my performance in school. With these stats and a good MCAT score will I be able to get in anywhere?
Thank you so much for reading!
