Hello guys,
I graduated with my bachelors this May. I am a pre-med and I am planning on taking 2 gap years before applying to medical school. But I really want your opinions on if I should apply/if I have even the slightest chance of getting into one. My GPA are as follows:
Fall Freshman: 3.771
Spring Freshman: 3.421
Fall Sophomore: 3.870
Spring Sophomore: 3.190
Fall Junior: 3.804
Spring Junior: 3.385
Fall Senior: 3.196
Spring Senior: 3.611
My science GPA came out to be 3.58 and my over GPA 3.543. I was faintly involved in a pre-med club but didn't really do anything in it. Other than that, I had zero involvements on campus. I volunteered my sophomore year, got about 60 hours and I have volunteered about 90 after I graduated. I am about to start a job as a medical scribe. I haven't taken the MCAT but I am hoping to get around 510 on it. I should have decent recommendations from professor that I did well in their classes. I am Nepali and have to list myself as Asian in the application. I am a resident of Illinois.
I don't plan to saying or stating this to the ADCOMS but toward the end of my Freshman year, I began to suffer from anxiety and depression and got out of the rut the fall of my Senior year. Over the summer, I always worked on self improvement and started the Fall strong but I would become anxious and depressed by the end of Fall all my years. Wasn't until summer after my Junior year and fall Senior year that I permanently became myself again.
I really want to be a physician. But I understand that my stats aren't that good. That's why I want your thoughts and opinions on if I have a shot at any MD or DO schools. Also, if you guys have any suggestions on what I can do to better my chances or have any experience yourself, please feel free to share!!!!
