Hi everyone,
Before you read on I will warn that this is me baring what I have to see what you fine folks have to say about my chances.
I am a 26M looking to go to medical school. I have a 3.2 undergraduate BCPM GPA and no volunteer work (I am trying to score this starting in april 2015) and trying to shadow currently. I took 2 MCATs and they were both very poor (in 2009 I scored a 23T and in 2010 I scored a 26T). VR destroyed me both times and therefore I decided to work instead to see how I felt without medicine. I have signed up for an MCAT course to improve my score and overall odds. I really genuinely want to be a physician for the field and the role it provides. I am motivated by my desire to provide patient care and get the absolute best understanding of the human body and how it works.
I know the stats look bad but is there at all a chance for me?
I recently finished a contract job working in Biopharmaceuticals (it paid great but i felt unaccomplished and did not enjoy it as much as i thought i would). My contract ended so I am looking for another job but in the mean time I went to a RossUSM seminar and felt it was an option but I want to stay state side if possible since I do a lot of stuff to take care of my Mother who is on disability and sister who i am supporting through grad school. most of my work for them can be handled by mail or phone call since its just routine clerical stuff. I have experienced some personal business understanding as well (is it worth discussing that in a personal statement?)
My background is that I was raised by my father who was a Physician (DO) and he passed away within the last 3 years. I feel that through his life's work is where i find my inspiration and he genuinely recommended the medical field to me, I love working with my hands and lending a helping hand or opinion to people.
So for now I have finished all of my personal student loan debt and have secured my mother and sister's finances and the roof over their head. I feel more responsible now than I did as an Undergrad (I was not very mature or happy then and my performance was abysmal.) I am open to the carribbean, DO, Low tier MD and post bacc for gpa enhancement.
the post bacc is the most appealing since it will allow me to recuperate my low statistics and i will also be able to get back into a study routine. but if i am put to the test i am confident i can learn the material now which is why I am motivated now more than ever.
Please vote on my question.
