Hi guys
So I've been quiet on SND for a while now trying to out what I should do. I was hoping some of you could advise me on some of my options because I'm quite lost. I applied to 25 schools (mostly low-mid tier) for the 2011 cycle and haven't gotten a single interview and seeing as its April I think it's pretty safe to say I won't get any.
My stats are:
3.55 BCPM
31M (7V, 10PS, 14BS)
I have 1 year of research in a muscle physiology lab, around 100 hours of volunteering (in Taiwan/U.S.) and 50~ hours of shadowing a general surgeon and neurologist.
I spent most of my downtime doing volunteer work at a local hospital this past year.
I was thinking that it was probably my ECs or low verbal score that got me no acceptances this year but I was wondering what other people thought?
Do you think I have a chance if I keep my MCAT score and reapply early this year (my application wasn't complete till 9/2/2010 last cycle) with revised personal statement and increased ECs? Any advice I would really really appreciate!
Thanks a lot in advance!
