Hello all. Could someone please guide me to what I should do now and what my chances are? Also what schools should I apply for? Also I would like to thank the sdn community for helping me get my life together. I was unable to do well in college due to personal relationship and familial issues. My undegrad sgpa was 2.6 and now my sgpa is 3.12! Keep in mind I only had 50 something science credits in undergrad as I was a humanities major. Also, keep in mind I did take my courses only 1 or 2 at a time due to work (I need to survive) as well as taking care of my grandma and volunteering. hopefully taking courses in pairs and singles in this situation will not be frowned upon?
undergrad sgpa: 2.6ish
24 credit post-bacc (CC): 3.76
overall sgpa: 3.12
Classes:
Spring semester: Integrated Medical Bio= A
Summer session: Anatomy 001= A
Fall session: Microbiology =A Physics 1=B+
Spring session: Physiology=B+ Physics 2= A
MCAT: 505 (probably not applying this year due to financial situation but I can probably raise it a few more points)
LOR: 1 from a DO, 1 from Anatomy professor, 1 from Microbio professor and I'll probably get one from my volunteer coordinator
EC
-150 hours VA hospital volunteer
-100 hours homeless shelter
-1 year big brother big sister
-1 year as a paid private tutor (idk if this is relevant or not but I enjoy helping kids learn and succeed. especially even more because I had to do all this reinvention and I want others to be able to do the same)
-60 hours shadowing DO (two different DO's)
-I'm also thinking of tutoring disadvantaged children online as it's possible to do this due to covid
