Hi All:
Need some feedback here and let me preface this by saying:
1) I realize my mcat/gpa are on the lower spectrum, I don't need anyone else telling me that.
2) Let's pretend like retaking the MCAT is not an option.
3) Please don't say to apply to DO schools because I already have that portion planned out.
4) I know this is expensive.
5) I have no intention nor any chance of getting into a top 20 school. That's my fault, I should have worked harder the first two years of college
OK, so obviously to maximize my chances of getting into an allopathic school I will want to apply to more than just a few places. To me personally, that means 30 or so schools (glass half empty). Clearly that is not feasible, nor is it logical. I am an Ohio resident so naturally I will apply to all Ohio schools besides Case (I haven't a chance in hell there).
ME:
MCAT: 25 (10 VR-7PS-8BS) and than 28 (8 VR-8PS-12BS)
UGPA: 3.23 Molecular Genetics
Undergrad Instit: Ohio State
Grad GPA: currently 4.0 MPH
Grad Instit: Ohio State
I have been doing research for the past 3 years, have a few publications, a few in the pipeline, and a few that are further down the pipeline.
I have many hours vested in community service (teaching science at schools, Habitat for Humanity)
I have volunteered at hospitals previously.
I have excellent LOR's or I assume so.
So, in addition to:
OSU
U Cincy
Wright State
Med Col Ohio
S. Illinois
GW
Rush
Wayne State
UK
U of Louisville
Finch
Where might I consider applying?
Thanks a bunch
Adrian
