Here are my stats:
sGPA: 3.0
cGPA: 2.4
MCAT: 517
ECs: 1500+ hours as a MA , 1 semester of research in my microbiology class, 1 year of working as a research assistant in business
I got my AA degree my senior year of high school and my BS this year. I have been working a full time job on top of this to support my family. My mom was diagnosed with cancer and I have 6 younger siblings to support. My grades dropped after my dad left us which is when I started working full time. My mom cannot earn enough to support us and her chemo lasted for 8 months and at that time I was the main caretaker of my family. The reason for my grade drop was not being able to study for my classes since I was working so much. Also, my uncle who was like a father to me passed away last year due to cancer which makes me feel like nothing is going in my favor. I want opinions on what I should do to strengthen my app or should I apply for the next cycle.
Thank you
