Hi guys,
I'm a 2009 college graduate who has spent the last few years improving his resume. I took my first MCAT in April 2010 and scored a 30N (13 PS 7 V 10 B) and applied but did not get in. I did take my MCAT again in August and my scores came back this time at 34N (14 PS 9 V 11 B). I am not sure if I should apply this year as it is very late in the cycle and with the verification time, it will not be until October that med schools see me app.
My credentials are:
EMT-B license
Volunteering at local hospital for 1 year.
Medical scribe for 1 year where I average 40+ hours in the clinic per week and actually seeing all the patients with the physician.
(Other non-medical related EC)
The problem that I have is my science GPA is very low at 3.3. To make matters worse, my sGPA for just biology courses is barely above a 3.0. The only reason why it is at a 3.3 is because of the physics, chemistry and math that gets factored into the sGPA. What do you guys think about me applying this year? I am a Michigan resident and I would actually be happy going to Wayne. Do I have a shot there this late? Also, if I were to apply to just a handful of schools this year and get rejected, does this put me at a disadvantage in the following year as it would make me a "third time applicant"?
Thanks!
