I applied to a couple of schools last year, got a few interviews, but I was eventually turned down. I spent the next year retaking the MCAT, volunteering at a local free clinic (going on 10 months), tutoring students, and becoming first aid and cpr certified. I have also been shadowing a Neurologist for the past 6 months. I was wondering what you guys think my chances to get accepted this year are? Will my lack of schoolwork over the past year be held against me? The lack of formal schoolwork concerns me the most because I have been told different things by different people so I don't know what to believe.
I've had 2 interviews already, and I have one scheduled for this week.
Some background information on me:
B.S. in Chemical Engineering with a 3.23 G.P.A. (Had family problems, dad was diagnosed with lung cancer causing me to get C's in a few classes, actually considred withdrawing from school).
First MCAT score was a 25N, but I got a 29P on the second one.
Research work in Ethanol Production with one publication.
Thanks in advance for your help.
