So I just submitted my primary application this afternoon, sept 23. Super duper late. I'm 33 years old, a resident of NYC, and I'm half Spanish (which doesn't seem to be a URM). What are my chances?
My cumulative GPA is 3.6, (but that includes two F grades I got 14 years ago the first time I tried college. Without those two ancient F grades my cumulative GPA is 3.8.) My BCPM science GPA is 3.8. MCAT is 33 s // vr 10 / ps 11 / bs 12.
Medical / research experience = Volunteered at Bellevue hospital in NY for over a year, 5 hours a week. That includes ER, day clinic (with shadowing), and AIDS testing outreach to our patients. I did organic chemistry research at my college one summer. One semester I did honors biology research on the mating habits of a local bird species. But I haven't had anything published. My dad is a doctor, my mom's a speech therapist, and my uncle is a social worker at the VA hospital, and I did office work for all of them.
Non medical experience = I worked in the music industry for a bunch of years at top end music studios, audio engineered a bunch of non-famous music, did live sound for off-broadway theatrical plays and small night clubs, and worked as a composer and composer's assistant at a big-time advertisement jingle production company. I also did a lot of work in the technology world, web programming, etc. I also did music stuff and tech stuff as a freelancer, including tutoring music. I also was in my school's chorus group and jazz band. I also did some graphic design volunteer work for a women's volunteer organization (even though I'm a man).
Letters = Probably very glowing letters from an art prof, cell bio prof, calculus prof, organic prof (he's also my pre med advisor), and a letter from the volunteer coordinator at Bellevue.
Soooooo, this late in the game, what are my chances?
