Hi all.
Long story short: I'm in the beginning of my engineering PhD in a bio/chem type of research. I've got it in my head that I want to go to med school after PhD and I can't stop thinking about it.
Undergrad GPA was very low (for top-school standards): 3.74 overall, 3.62 in major. Adcoms won't tell me if this is irredeemable with a ~4.0 graduate GPA, a high MCAT, and surfeiting publications, or not. After much self-reflection I have determined I am thoroughly unprepared for the MCAT and my dream of getting an over-40 will take much, much, much studying, starting like NOW.
It's hard to straight-up ask, "what are my chances of getting into a top 5/10 school?" But basically, that's it, and also what I can do to get there. I'm willing to do anything. Legit advice only please. Be mean and yell at me if you want, too. Just don't tell me it's impossible because I know it isn't. Thanks guys.
Sincerely,
A Fruzzle-doodled Graduate Student
