I go to UC berkeley and im a 3rd year bio major applying this summer. Im taking the may 27 exam and taking an amazing MCAT course called the berkeley review. Their average MCAT score from there is about 31-32. Anyways. I have a 3.52 GPA (keep in mind this is UC BERKELEY where A's are hard to come by). I have 1 yr research experience in a UCSD psychiatry lab with rats where i designed many protocols. I shaddowed an orthopedic surgeon, a GP (for 2 yrs) a nephrologist (which i want to study) and a cardiologist. I got letters from the lab, the GP, the nephrologist and they are good for sure. They both recommend me without reservation and "hope to work with me once i get my sub specialty in nephrology" I also have a letter from a BIO GSI/TA cosigned by both professors, a letter from my O-chem professor (volhardt if you are curious, he wrote the main ochem textbook used today), a letter from my anatomy professor, and a letter from my physio professor (all good ones). My science GPA~cGPA
My question is, what do i have to get on the mcat to have a good chance of getting into a med school in the US. Not DO, and doesnt havto be in California. I have amazing LOR, a very good PS and pretty good EC's(besides all the shadowing, lab, I GSI'd a course in biology at berkeley meaning i was the TA grading exams and holding office hours and teaching the lab section. I worked with 2 autistic children for 2 years in a leadership program helping them learn social skills and teaching them science. I teach a tennis clinic every summer as i was ranked #10 in san diego for USTA tennis a period of time and 89 in So. Cal. I have a few others...
