Hey All,
So I'm applying to an even mix of MD and DO schools.
cGPA - 3.55
sGPA - 3.45
diagnosed with ADHD two years ago, since then avg 3.7-4.0 each semester
My MCAT score is: 28O
PS 9
BS 12
VR 7
WS O
ECs - 300 hrs clinical, 600 hrs research, lead team of 15 to Mexico on a medical missions trip (team member two other times), studied abroad at Oxford University, shadowed a cohort of MDs for a week in a county hospital, biology and anatomy tutor for two years, founded and ran a philanthropic organization in my college that raised money and awareness for Children's Hospital Los Angeles, member of my local Phi Delta Epsilon pre-medical chapter.
My VR was much better on my practice exams (avg - 9-11) but I used a strategy that wasted time on the real exam, and made the mistake of taking 3 practice exams the week before the date of my MCAT (stupid :/)
I know I can do better, but didn't have time to prepare for MCAT round 2 because of my ECs, since I'm graduating in May 2012 and am already set up for a gap year I figured it would be worth a shot to apply and see what happens.
Any thoughts on my shot at getting into an MD or DO school?
PS - I'm a bit older, a California resident, and a non-URM
