LOL. A positive application of what you learned about in psychology class. People are more likely to agree to what serves their own self interest.explain to your parents that waiting a year will vastly improve the odds that you will matriculate to a school far easier for them to brag to their friends about.
Congrats on your MCAT score.
Yes, you can apply at this time of year and still get an acceptance. You may not get into a school as selective as one you (and your parents) might have hoped for, though. Your research sounds terrific and your clinical experience is above average, but your chances will also rest on your other ECs, your LORs, how well written your Primary Statement is (even more important if English is your second language and you have a lower VS), and your interview skills. If you rush into applying when your application isn't the best it can be, you could be making an expensive mistake.
How much physician shadowing do you have?
What is your leadership experience?
Have you done any teaching, coaching, TAing, or tutoring?
What nonmedical community service have you done?
Are your LORs lined up and ready to go? If not, faculty often take months to deliver a letter you have asked for.
Will you be happy to attend any less-selective med school?
It would be silly to apply with so many holes in your application. I recommend you make the needed improvements and apply in June 2011 in that case.I didn't do any shadowing, and don't have much leadership experiences,
I have done tutoring, and did some 30hrs non-medical community service.
