If i am an actively serving the US army, have a cGPA of abt 3.6 and get lets say a 35 on the new mcat, what are my chances of getting into medical school? Hopefully a place like NYU? I have 10 years experience working very, very closely with patients in health care fields. My education history has been a bit bumpy. Ill be starting Med School (God willing) in fall 2017 at the age of 27.
there are gaps in my education and some bad grades such as a D in stats from 2 years ago because of serious financial issues i was having then. I find the MCAT easier than my Physics 1 course lol so im confident i can get a better grade in that versus my Physics 2 class next spring. More so, Im in the army reserves at Lt rank, i will be a Captain in 3 years from today, and will probably be posted overseas once i finish my education (ie medical school). Our training for reserves vs active duty starts the same way, with the same ranks etc, but we don't necessarily get posted overseas unless the country is at war or there was a natural disaster that requires immediate attention and so on... Does this work against me being in reserves versus being a solider deployed in Afghanistan?
I will also have another gap in the fall 2015 semester as i have to leave for 6 month duty and will be posted out of my current state. Will this be used against me? My biggest fear is the gap in education and the 3-4 grades lower than a B i got which will make med schools not even want an interview with me.
Please help! thanks
