Thanks. Are there any stats out there for masters graduates? Im constantly being told that I cant compare my stats to undergrads because im a nontaditional applicant and I have way more experiences than they do. But for me numbers are numbers and im worried about my undergrad sGPA, specifically orgo and phys. Would it be mor beneficial for me to retake those courses I got Cs in or should I wait another year and retake the MCAT?
 
Your MCAT score makes you noncompetitive for MD schools, but you'll have plenty of luck with DO programs.

Does anyone know the admissions statistics for Master's Graduates? Stats for undergrads are everywhere but not for us graduates..

Here are mine tell me what you think

Undergrad cGPA: 3.3 sGPA 2.9

Graduate School (Research Intensive) Medical Master’s with a Certificate in Clinical and Translational Research- cGPA & sGPA 3.4.. 30 GPA hours

MCAT 26 (8PS, 8VR, 10BS)

In graduate school I took the Medical Physiology course with med students and received a B as well as phD level courses (A’s, mostly Bs)

Boat loads of extra-circulars

During undergrad:
Manager of student union…200+ hospital volunteer hours (3 different units).. Undergraduate research 1000 hrs… Preprofessional service organization (36 hours com serv/semester).. Political Internship (470 hrs)

During Graduate school:
Graduate Research Assistant 40hrs/week 6000+ hours of research: 1 first author paper, 2 second author papers.. Including the discovery of a hormone pathway in mammals. 5 posters at national conferences, 1 invited presentation
Mobile Outreach Clinic Intern- 140+ hrs volunteering on a mobile bus that gives out free healthcare
Graduate student council representative, Graduate student advocacy committee, Graduate student service chairman – Service projects for masters and PhD students. Lots of hours in community service.
Medical mission trip

Applied 8/10 to aamc, 8/20 to aacomas.. Waiting on verification.

Gap year now and I’m continuing research as a lab manager and the Mobile outreach clinic internship. Hope to get another paper…

MD- I’m applying to all schools in florida + ???

DO.. My #1 choice is NOVA but I’m applying to about 10 others.

Any recommendations on school? or what should I do moving forward?
