I am a non-traditional career changer student, getting ready to apply for post-bacc programs. I work in tech right now and am doing ECs on the side. The biggest caveat that I see is that I am not a US citizen, which will make admissions to the post-bacc and then to medical school challenging (but I am determined!).
Here are my stats / life history :
Really hoping to get into BM or Scripps, what do you think are my realistic chances? Worried about my GPA because once I am in a postbacc, I would love to link but wondering if because my GPA is 3.62 I am screwed ((
Here are my stats / life history :

- 1450 SAT
- Top student-athlete for the 4 years of college, with many accolades (All-American, Newcomer & Senior of the Year)
- Worked for 1.5 semesters in the Psych Child, Attachment, and Development Lab (when I was considering majoring in psychology or neuroscience)
- 80 hours of hospital volunteering, 50 hours of hospice volunteering (currently doing ~6 hours of volunteer work per week, so it will be higher), 30 hours of shadowing
