I am a non-traditional applicant applying for the cycle opening up in May. I graduated UConn in 2014, was an Allied Health Major and believed there was a 0% chance I would ever apply to med school throughout my undergrad career (I planned on going the PA route). Because of this and lots of partying my GPA was a 3.38 science being about a 3.5. I decided to go the med school route last year after working in the medical field, and joining the military (which will provide me with free instate tuition). I am taking my MCAT in June and am pretty confident I will get at least a 30. I am a first-gen hispanic female, who was raised by my father in a low income home after my mother passed away. I have experience working as patient care associate in a hospital for 6 months (drawing blood, EKGS). 75 hours of clinical research experience, and currently work as a medical scribe for a telemedicine startup company which does solely virtual consults.
DO YOU THINK I HAVE A SHOT AT GETTING IN with my GPA, AND WHAT MCAT SCORE WOULD I NEED?
ALSO: I had nooooo contact with my professors while in college and many of the schools I am applying to require academic LOQ. Is it too late for me to ask? How do I ask a professor who probably has no idea who I am?
