Hello all,
Hope everyone is safe and well. While I don't tend to share a lot about my situation, I believe that there can be some good insights on here. I am a non-trad and have the following profile:
- GPA: undergraduate~ 3.85, science~ 3.75, MBA~ 4.0, MBS~ 2.9 (3.6 excluding the 2 classes I couldn't take tests for because of work)
- MCAT: 505~ 65% (126/125/127/127)
- Non-native English speaker
- About ~200 hours of volunteering
- Working at urgent care clinic in registration
- White/Middle-Eastern
- Living in NM
A little elaboration after the snapshot, I have wanted to apply to medical school for nearly a decade if it wasn't for circumstances mainly revolving around my immigration status (as an international student; although my family has been in America for over seven decades I grew up overseas). I finally took the MCAT this cycle for the first time in late September. I need insights from people with experience along with my academic advisor and medical mentor. What are some MD and DO programs I should consider at this time (I have no real preferences for school location or tier). Any general advice and specific strategies are much appreciated and valued.
Thank you.
