Hi everyone,
I graduated university ~10 years ago with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I prioritized working and other things over school and had multiple F’s and D’s. I’ve always felt passionate about medicine but always felt it was unattainable. I’ve taken the past few years to fully pursue this goal and want to know if I’ve done enough, is it even worth it to apply this next cycle, and what more do I need to do to show reinvention?
- ~2.6 cGPA and ~3.1 sGPA
- 4.0 post bacc (currently at 44 credits)
- 522 MCAT (131/131/130/130)
- ~14k hours as a software engineer (FAANG)
- 500 hours EMT (projected 1k by time of application)
- 300 hours volunteering (hospice, habitat for humanity (leading a big project due to previous engineering experience), tutoring) (Projecting 400 by application)
- 50 hours research (planning to get more and be around 200 by application)
- Maryland resident
Let me know if there’s any additional info I can provide. Thanks!
