How competitive is a 30P MCAT and a 3.76 science/3.8 overall from a state school?

Thanks for your insight...

Somewhat competitive. . .😛

 

[bcosmos]

Allow me to add a bit:

2 degrees: BS Zoology/BA Poli. Sci.

Good LORs

Studied abroad and on NSE: Trinity College, Dublin and Univ. of Minnesota - TC

Some research, 1 year volunteer in ER...other stuff, but those are main

I am concerned, probably as much or more than the rest of you, and it would be a great help if you would give me your opinion...

Thank you...

I think you're fine. State school? Was it a main campus or a small satellite school that is not well known. Some state schools are highly respected, some are not. Is your 30 even..10s?

I mean, I'm applying too, so I don't really know, but based on stats I think you have a great chance.

It is Louisiana State University...

9V

10PS

11BS

Your Application should be decent, the rest will be up to the mysterious admission process!

 

[skypilot]

Your MCAT is exactly the mean for accepted applicants and your GPA is above, you are definitely a contender. I wouldn't count on Harvard but many schools would be interested. Aren't you a shoe in for the Louisiana schools?

If you are a louisiana resident you would have a 85% chance of an acceptance to the two LSU medical schools. Otherwise, you are very competitive at Tulane and other medical schools. Are you applying this admission cycle any chance?

 

[bcosmos]

Probably would be, but most of my family moved to MN a few years ago, so I am actually applying as a MN state resident...thought it might improve my chances at out of state schools and especially MN schools as their stature is a bit higher than LA schools...thanks again for responding...

 

[bcosmos]

yep...this cycle...but I turned in all my sec. apps. at the beginning of Sept. and I only have one interview so far (GW in DC)...concerned 'cause I haven't heard from others...

If you would have applied earlier you would have had a lot of luck. I applied in June with a 3.7 gpa, 3.5 sci, 29R and received 8 MD interview invites and have been accepted to 1 so far.

Bcosmos how are your ECs/LORs/...etc?

Numbers wise you are just fine. I am pretty sure that you are gonna do great.
