Hi everyone! I am a re-applicant after submitting in 2016. My previous application I did a lot of things wrong, and did not have enough clinical experience to truly be a strong applicant. My GPA has held steady at 3.6, sGPA 3.54, and my MCAT that year was a 503. I was active in leadership positions on my undergraduate campus, and volunteered as a hands on hospice volunteer at a comfort care home (150 hours). I ended up taking a gap year fellowship in South Africa working hands on in a HIV/TB clinic outside of Johannesburg. I spent 8.5 months there before returning to the states to a clinical research coordinator position at Boston Children's Hospital, where I have been for 2 years and was promoted twice (Clinical Research Coordinator 2, and Clinical Research Data Manager 1). I retook the MCAT in June 2019 and unfortunately received a 501, so chose to defer until this cycle. After re-taking the MCAT again I received a 506, and am hoping with this somewhat average GPA and MCAT score plus my ECs I will finally be a decent candidate for medical school.
I submitted on 6/17 after triple checking absolutely everything on my application, and sent to the following schools
If anyone has any school they think I should add, please let me know and encouragement would be greatly appreciated
