I know this is probably a stupid question becuase nothing is for certain but I just want something to take away my anxiety or maybe I will have to just face it. I'm 20 years old and have a bachelor's in General Biology from UMD. I graduated high school a year early and college a semester early so you can see my drive and motivation. I've been getting very low 20s MCAT score, my latest being a 22 and I'm taking the MCAT in a week so I know there won't be any life changing scores most likely. I have a cGPA 3.6, only one C in orgo 2 lab, and my science gpa is close to 3 i think since it's mostly Bs.
I have a *hard time at doing well on standardized test...my sat score was 1540/2400 and I still got into UMD and graduated with a 3.6 and a science gpa of 3.36. I'm hoping I could bring this up at an interview to show that though my score is low, I am a diligent student and I won't flunk out.
I've volunteered at the hospital and at the national MS society. I've also done an internship at shady grove hospital where I shadowed various departments of the hospital and also watched surgeries. I've been on the basketball team and volleyball team in my ethnic community and done various other organizations all relating to my ethnicity including scouts all for more like 7 years (unlike my medically related stuff). After my MCAT im going to apply to become a scribe and do an internship in Armenia this summer for 6 weeks, shadowing a doctor in the hospital.
Is there any way I'll get into a DO school?
Also, if you think there is anything I could say or emphasize during an interview, I'd appreciate the advice!
Thanks for listening to my desperate plea lol I'm hoping it will calm me down and just encourage me that everything will be fine.
