Hi! I just graduated college, I ended with a cGPA of 3.36 and sGpa of 3.2
Now I know my stats aren't amazing, but I would rather focus on the mcat so that's why I didn't really consider doing a PostBacc since I know I am the type of student who can't do classes and mcat prep all the same time, would rather give 120% to something then 50%. However, I know that doing a PostBacc can be beneficial in some ways, so if its a better then doing med scribe part time over the next year while studying for the mcat then it might be the way to go.
I want to work in a hospital setting hence why I applied to med scribe and it is more to learn. I have over 500+ hours of clinical and volunteer, I have very strong leadership in my EC from being president and director of the clubs. I have strong LORs. My grades are lacking and that is just poor study habits that I learned eventually how to fix.
So my question is, would it be better to do a PostBacc or is med scribe and then study full time for the mcat so I can do really well on it the better route? Is there something else I should consider? Thank you so much!
I also will apply MD and DO, along with the Caribbean if need be but I want to stay in America. So what can I do? I also did graduate a year early, and that was only because of some personal family reasons there was no way around it, but I'm fine I know there are routes I can take to reach this dream I just need some advice to get there. Thanks again.
