Hi guys! New to SDN. I wanted to know what my chances are for medical school. Both MD and DO. I would appreciate any and all help.
Gpa: 3.64
Sgpa: 3.59 (applications are submitted and confirmed through aamc)
MCAT: 507 (73%) Breakdown: 127/122/128/130
My CARS was my worst section and the hardest since English was my second language. I've always struggled a bit. I was a disappointed in it as I was averaging 124.
Major: Biology and Spanish
Fluent in Arabic, English, and proficient in Spanish.
My AAMC application states SES Disadvantaged and EO1 (which I believe is first generation)
Came from an immigrant family
Identify as LGBT and have a strong personal statement along with an interest in serving the LGBT community.
Ohio resident, but went to HS and college in NY.
EC's:
Over 4000 hrs clinical experience as a clinical research assistant at a cancer center *I work in a renowned top hospital). Involved in clinical trials. Great patient/research experience.
Undergrad research 2 years
Service abroad trip to Haiti. Worked medically and also served as a Spanish translator/TA
200 hrs working in hospice as a volunteer
Identify as LGBTQ and very passionate about LGBT health disparities. I volunteer at my local LGBT center. Work with Youth group, trans health, and advocating for prep/HIV awareness
over 100 hours of shadowing experience
TA of a few classes in undergrad, public health classes
First year was not so good, but upward trend of grades (I received one C- in a gen bio class and a W from withdrawing from a class, but excelled in my upper level courses getting A's)
I'm hoping that holistically my application as a whole can speak to my commitment and ability to excel in medical school. I also have a good PS I've worked on for over a year that speaks a lot my interests in medicine.
I plan to finish and submit my DO applications by today. I submitted my AAMC apps within the first day, but had to do some editing on my PS and ES's for DO cycle since the character limit is much smaller.
I would really appreciate any help coming up with a school list. Thank you guys for all that you do!
