I just got my 5/31 score back and it was quite devastating. I went from a 510 -> 509 even though I was scoring on average 515s on my 3 AAMC practice FLs. So now I'm wondering if I should continue applying this cycle or foregoing it to retake it again.
Some other information about me:
I am a reapplicant from California (and also Asian American)
Undergrad sGPA: 3.66, cGPA: 3.75
ECs from last year:
- 200 hours research with no publications
- 200 hours clinical volunteering
- 100 hours shadowing
- 150 hours nonclinical volunteering
- 300+ hours of leadership in cultural student orgs
New ECs from this past gap year:
- 200 new hours of teaching at a tutoring center
- 1000 new hours from working as a medical assistant at urgent care
- started my own podcast (~10 hours so far)
My current school list if I were to continue applying this cycle:
- California Northstate
- Keck (USC)
- UC Davis
- George Washington
- Georgetown
- Emory
- Loyola-Stritch
- Tulane
- Tufts
- North Carolina
- Cooper Rowan
- UBuffalo
- New York Medical College
- Rochester
- SUNY Downstate
- SUNY Upstate
- Hofstra
- Drexel
- Geisinger Commonwealth
- Jefferson-Kimmel
- Penn State
- Temple-Katz
- Viriginia Commonwealth
- University of Washington
I guess I just want to know if I would be okay to apply this cycle, and whether or not these schools need further adjustments if I do. Thanks a lot!
