Hey everyone. I’m brand new to this forum and am hoping to find some good advice or insight. I did 8 years in the Navy as a Search and Rescue Corpsman. While in, I also volunteered as an EMT, then as a Paramedic out in town with local fire/ems. I got out about a year and a half ago and have done some humanitarian work with a Veterans group that included rescues/medical aid during Hurricane Harvey in Texas this last summer.
How far will these ECs/experiences carry me for getting into med schools, DO or MD? My GPA is about a 3.35. Bs in Physics, Cs in Gen Chem, As in three Bios (and i expect a couple more As in recommended Bio classes), B/B- in Ochem series. C in calculus. Still haven’t taken an official MCAT but got a 501 on a full Kaplan practice test a few months ago without any prior studying. I’m going to burn through my GI Bill to finish my bachelors and am wondering if med school is a pipe dream with these stats. I’ll appreciate any and all insight!
