Hello all, I'm pretty new to sdn but I really like the community and a lot of you seem to be very knowledgeable about these topics. Right now I find myself in a predicament with respect to applying to schools, and I wanted to see what my best options are. I'll just give my stats straight away:
Majored in Genetics graduated 2017
3.53 cGPA at a state school, 3.38 sGPA (upward trending)
509 MCAT
Completed undergraduate thesis with highest departmental honors, spent about 1500 hours in that lab
EMT for almost 4 years (currently working as one, but volunteered up until graduating)
Also work at Columbia University Medical Center and just got published
Currently volunteer at Habitat for Humanity
Leadership position in marching band
I think that's most of it, I applied to 20 MD schools and 5 DO schools, and only got one II from one DO which I have yet to hear back from.
I applied to a bunch of SMPs and I was hoping someone could let me know which would be best for me since I've gotten conflicting information from advisers/websites. I got into:
Rutgers Piscataway Masters in Biomedical Sciences at RWJ
Georgetown
Rowan
NYMC
Temple ACHS (Applied to ACMS, but I know II's go out in March/April)
Right now, I think Georgetown is my best bet. I also have family that lives near DC so I wouldn't have to pay for housing if I do main campus.
What does everyone else think? I'd prefer an MD school, but I'm also 100% fine with DO. if the one DO I interviewed at accepts me, I'll happily go there. What would you recommend though if I'm not accepted?
