Hi Everyone! I'm
disadvantaged immigrant,
took MCAT 2 yrs ago, got 23 (8 PS, 6VR, 9BS, O)
BCMP: 3.52, overall: 3.61 from an ivy school
Great recommendation & EC (1 science & 2 nonscience publications, many volunteer, abroad experience that are medical and non medical related, >5 yrs of clinical and bench lab research experience, presented at 2 conferences), received many awards and honors
Few questions:
1) how many recommendation letter is too many? 10? I know all of them will be great though.
2) Will retake MCAT in early July. Yet am afraid that I will submit my AMCAS too late. Should I submit it using my low mcat score and then update the school with my new scores later on? Or should I wait, cuz I will be rejected by too many schools?
3) Any chance of me getting into an ivy med school? Should I even try?
4) Also interested in Md/PhD. Any chance for low tier school?
ANY suggestion and help will be great! THANKS!
