So here's the story,
3.00 cGPA
~2.8 sGPA
Top 10 LAC
Slight upward trend (3.1 Senior Fall, 3.5 Senior Spring, 3.5 Post-bac (only 8 credits))
MCAT: 27 (7PS/10VR/10BS) - retaking in January (should've voided after disastrous PS passage)
EC's:
Great research experience (1 first author pub in 8+IF oncology journal, 1 middle author manuscript in submission at NEJM, great LOR expected from PI, abstracts, posters, attending international conference in October)
2 Varsity sports (and some awards)
Volunteering (non-clinical)
Shadowing
Campus involvement
7 Years working part-time as a bartender
(Currently looking for clinical volunteering positions)
Currently taking Biochemistry while working full time in a lab. Plan to take at least 3 more courses by the end of next summer. Hope to bring GPA to 3.1/3.0s by then (and hopefully much improved MCAT).
With my current stats would I be competitive at well-known SMPs (i.e. BU, EVMS, Georgetown)? I've contacted admissions for some programs but haven't heard back.
Thank you in advance for your advice!
