Hi all,
I am currently finishing up my second year as a management consultant in a top-tier firm. After working long hours and dedicating my life to the firm, I always feel fruitless. I hate corporate life and want to change careers to live life as a doctor, where I can actually help people heal and not feel like a sellout everyday. The medical school workload and life don't phase me as I already work close to 80-90 hour weeks, and had very good studying habits throughout my life.
I had explored the idea of going to Medical School in college and taken all the Pre-med classes except for Bio 2. My other stats and extra curriculars are as follows:
1. Graduated 3.7 GPA in Chemical Engineering from Rutgers
2. Obtained A in both Orgo 1 and Orgo 2
3. Ran private tutoring practice during all 4 years of college and was a TA for Engineering Classes
4. Currently finishing up second year as a management consultant
5. Volunteered as a live-in assistant for a month in a physical therapy and rehab facility in the Philippines
6. Wrote as a sports columnist in my college newspaper
7. Recruitment lead for my firm for East Coast colleges
My question is: Could I still apply and get in to Med School with all these stats combined given a good MCAT score WITHOUT ever having taken Bio 2? I have taken all other pre-med classes: Bio 1, physics 1/2, Gen Chem 1/2, Orgo 1/2 and 2 semesters of writing
Thanks
