I'd appreciate some comments/guidence on my current situation. I completely understand my stats, including how they would portray an applicant. Please note, I went through a family crisis that consumed every part of me during years 1-2 of undergrad. I'd be happy to share more privately.
B.S. in biology, Minor in psychology: 3.1 cGPA, 3.0 sGPA.
MCAT: 510.
As for ec's....briefly, as there are many details:
I've been a clinical intern for an MD since 2014, which is where nearly all of my clinical exposure, shadowing, and scribing was done. Within this internship I conducted/assisted in clinical interviews and minor surgery. I volunteered at an assisted living facility. Tutored for chem and bio students. I was also a peer health educator for my university. Mentored robotics teams from my high school. Minimal research, no publications. Within all of these, I earned and maintained leadership roles that are documented. Strong LOR's from these interactions.
I've been looking for some post-baccs or SMP's, as opposed to just retaking classes as a non-degree student. Chiefly, I reside that decision to the planned curriculum and support/committee letter.
I've been recommended to apply next cycle, while completing a post-bacc during that gap. I'd like to prove my developed capabilities to med schools.
Thank you in advance, I really appreciate any input.
