Is it worth it for me to reapply?

[farnell]

I applied two years ago with a 3.48 cGPA and a 29 MCAT...had two MD interviews, one rejection and one waitlist. Since then I have done research full time and improved my MCAT to a 30...is it worth it for me to reapply this year? Do you think I have a shot at low tier MD schools?

2 interviews & a waitlist says you should definitely go for it. rewrite everything. You've got 9 days, get going!

Best of luck to you.

Definately, as Dr. Midlife said, you should re-apply. Its early in the year and should be good for you. Also consider Osteopathic Med schools (if you are open to that too). Good luck.

Any feedback from the schools that interviewed you? If so, have you rectified those problems?

Yes and yes.

Also include DO programs. How are your ECs?

Hi everyone. Long weekend and just came back to these posts.

sGPA? Other ECs?

Yes and yes.

My EC's are not stellar but I feel that they are adequate. I have plenty of clinical/non-clinical volunteering, and have also been tutoring on and off for two years. Though I don't have any publications, I feel that my research is above average (I have been doing it full time for a large drug company), and is the strongest part of my app.

I have already started with my apps but definitely needed to hear the words of encouragement. Thank you guys!

Then definitely time to apply. Work on interview skills, just to be safe.
