Hi guys! I am currently a 3rd year, Asian female at a top 20 undergrad in California. At the end of this semester, I will have AMCAS cGPA of 3.763 and sGPA of 3.633. I have extensive shadowing experience, interned for my state's UNOS organization, volunteered at a hospital (until the program got terminated due to COVID), am involved in 5 campus organizations doing medical work/health education for underserved pops both in the US and internationally (on the executive board for 3 of them). Recently got involved with research doing data analytics for a public health institute at my university (was not able to join earlier because undergrads were not allowed to start during the pandemic). I also serve as a general chemistry supplemental instruction leader. I am currently interviewing for medical scribe positions and (hopefully) I can start working in one of them in the next couple of weeks.
My main concerns are that a lot of the clinical opportunities I was involved in only just started opening back up, which took away a year and a half of time for me. I'm going to take advantage of what I have now by getting super involved with research, shadowing, and volunteering; however, IDK if i should apply!!!! WAMC?
My #1 choices are my in-state schools, LSU New Orleans and LSU Shreveport. I am taking the MCAT for the first time in a week and will likely get around a 510. Is my predicted score too low for my gpa and cirumstances? Should I not apply this cycle?
Also, I already have rec letters secured from 3 didactic science professors + 1 from my employer. Plus, I have some underlying chronic health conditions that have really been in the way, and I can comment about them.
PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE NEVER FELT SO LOST xo
