Hello guys, I would greatly appriciate if someone could help me with my selection lists. I have 3.55 cGPA, 3.5 sGPA, 29 in the MCAT. The score breakdown is Physical 11, Biological 11, verbal 7. Residency : New york state
I did not do too well in my first two acedemic years and recieved 3.2 followed by 2.9. However, I obtained 3.9 in both junior and senior year in a much harder school.

EC:
-2 year of teaching experience, (one year in chem and one in biology) ~ 3000 hours
-3 years of Hospital volunteer experience ~ 750 hours
- 6 month Hospital volunteer in another Hospital ~ 200 hrs
-Independent physics research - lasted only 3 months (basically nothing)
-Weight training competition winner 1st place in my weight class
-Community service 10 years , ~2000 hrs
-Currently working in a private medical clinic ~ 150 hours
-Many dean list awards (doesnt help much, i guess all of the people here are).
-4.0 GPA award.
-Community service award.


So far I have applied to 24 of out of these 29 colleges. Do you guys think I have any chances for this cycle? I thank you all for your time 🙂

i think you have a chance, a 45.9% chance for the 27-29, 3.4-3.59 range, and you are in the upper range of that so maybe 50% chance. i dunno how to rate your ECs and how they factor in, seem pretty ok to me, especially that 1000s of hours part...
