My stats, where can I apply

[ChaoticConure]

4.3gpa (on a 4.5 scale)
3 year Bachelors in biochemistry,
509 MCAT

Based in Canada.

Finished my bachelor’s in 2021. Parents got sick and couldn’t focus on my applications as much, really rough time that I’m coming out of now and have no idea where to apply and what to do. Feel like my stats aren’t that great, especially now.

ECs aren’t much, I’ve been volunteering at a hospital for 4 years now doing a couple different roles. Volunteer delivering meals to people in need. Briefly volunteered with an addictions/mental health org. No significant jobs, have done tutoring.

What schools in Canada and US can I apply for that I would have a chance? Or is my only option Caribbean?

Really really don’t want to rewrite the MCAT. Please suggest schools I meet the cut off or I’m not too far from the cut off for.

Thank you so much 🙏

You could receive interviews at DO schools that accept applications from internationals. How many hours of hospital volunteering do you have? How many hours delivering meals and addiction/mental health org? Do you have any in person physician shadowing hours?

I have a bit over 200 hours volunteering at a hospital in a couple different roles, 35-40 hours delivering meals, 33 hours volunteering with a mental health/addictions org. I shadowed once in maybe 2020 to see the day of a neurologist as I was interested in the specialty. Shadowing is not as common in Canada for pre-meds where I am so I didn’t do much of it.

No research experience as half my program was completed during Covid and lots of research programs were cut off or shut down during the pandemic. Not in school anymore either so I don’t know how likely I would get a spot over a person currently in school
