Hi,
I graduated college in 2017 with a 3.65 GPA / 3.33 sGPA and a degree in Cell Bio and Neuroscience with a minor in Psychology. I took the MCAT that summer (sept 2017) and received a 511. I have not taken it again.
I have ties to / residence in NJ and NY.
In college, I participated in research in behavioral neuroscience, honors courses, and graduate courses in science. I volunteered at the public library and with my pre-med fraternity and social sorority. I puppy-sat for our service-dogs in training program at our school. I was very involved on campus, but did not have explicit leadership roles.
Between then and now, I have worked as a scribe at small hospitals in NJ and a research coordinator at a large school/teaching hospital in NY. I have confirmed my interest and passion for medicine, while getting to know myself better. I have worked on an administrative team to organize the hospital's dept of medicine COVID response. I have volunteered with the organization NY Cares.
Recently, my paper (which I am first author on) was published in a medical journal, and the administrative COVID team I am on has reassembled in preparation for a second spike. I sent out a letter update on these topics to all schools which accepted one.
I applied to the following schools:
-Albany
-Einstein
-BU (pre-II R)
-Cooper Medical School at Rowan
-Hofstra/Northwell Health
-Emory
-Quinnipiac
-Geisinger
-Icahn SOM at Mount Sinai
-LSU at New Orleans
-MSU (rejected)
-NYU Long Island
-Penn State (placed on "continue to review" list)
-Perelman @ UPenn
-U Vermont
-Rutgers NJMS
-Rutgers RWJ
-SKMC @ Thomas Jefferson University
-SUNY Upstate
-Alpert School @ Brown
-Tufts
-U Illinois Chicago
-Miller School @ U Miami
-UPitt
-U Rochester
-Virginia Tech Carilion
-Wash U
I submitted my primary in early July because I didn't realize it would take 7 weeks to process. My secondaries were submitted in late August/ early September.
Please let me know realistically how much of a chance I have at this point in the cycle.
Thank you!
