Hi everyone! I'm new to this website and am still learning the medical school admissions game. I would love it if someone would be willing (pretty please!)to take a look at my profile and advise on whether they think I have shot pretty much anywhere. And any ideas about schools that might especially like my profile would be really helpful too!
I went to an ivy for undergrad (one of the more difficult/very little grade inflation ones) and majored in a social science - the major was pretty intensive so I didn't have a whole lot of interaction with other pre-meds. Overall GPA is 3.56, BCPM is 3.22, and non-science is 3.83. These are my BCPM grades:
Fresh year:
2 Semesters of Inorganic Chem: C/C
1 semester quantitative demography: A
Sophomore year:
2 Semesters of Biology: B/C+
2 Semesters of Physics: A-/B+
1 semester of intro stats: B+
Summer after sophomore year:
2 semesters of Ochem: B+/B+ (I took it over the summer at another ivy because I spent my entire junior year off campus).
Junior year:
No science
I took my MCAT after Junior year and got a 31: 12V, 9P, 10B, S
Senior Year:
1 semester Biochem: A
1 semester Neuroscience: A-
Advanced Biochem Class - Metabolism: A-
1 semester advanced stats: B+
Cell Biology: A
I have a lot of work focusing on low-income and underserved communities, in terms of coursework, research, and other ECs. I graduated in 2006 and am participating in a competitive fellowship this year for community leaders/people interested in public service.
Sorry, I know this a lot! I am really worried about not getting in anywhere becuase of numbers. Any thoughts on the profile? Any suggestions for things I could do next year while I apply to make my application stronger? Any schools I should really consider? Schools I should just forget about? Thanks SO much in advance for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate it!!!
