I'm scared I won't get into any U.S. MD schools. Seriously! I really want to be a doctor!
About me:
-cGPA = 3.4, but will be ~3.45 after my final semester
-sGPA = 3.2, but will be ~3.3 after my final semester
-MCAT = 12PS 9V 11BS and M for writing
-I go to a top 20 undergrad university
-Lots of volunteer work and other EC experience, but nothing that special
-Good research, should be getting published
-Recs??
-Planning on taking a year off to be a research assistant, which is when I'll apply to medical school
Questions:
1. If I apply to all of the easier to get into medical schools, will I get in anywhere?
2. Should I RETAKE my MCAT? I was scoring 30-36 on practice tests, and I was devastated to receive this score. I know it's typically fine, but I wanted to somewhat make up for my low gpa.
3. Will the M in writing hurt me?
4. Any other advice for what I should do?
Advice? Thanks!
