Hello all.
I previously applied last year for fall 2014 admission, but I did not receive any interviews probably because I sent the primaries in late August, had a low MCAT score, and did not apply broadly enough. Therefore, I am planning on applying this cycle for fall 2015 admission. I was wondering what would be my chances at getting into a MD school with my stats and activities.
cGPA: 3.89 sGPA: 3.91 (ORM Massachusetts Resident from a Massachusetts College)
MCAT: (PS: 10/V: 7/BS: 9) = 26
(will be re-taking the MCAT July 24th, expecting a 32-33 based on my AAMC FL averages)
ECs:
4 years in chess club (was chess club president for 1 year)
1 semester of chemistry research (~60 hours)
2 years of biochemistry research (1000+ hours, no publications, a few posters and presentations, and culminated with an honors thesis)
1 summer of biology research as part of an REU program (~400-500 hours, a poster and presentation)
TA for 1 semester in a biochemistry course (~75 hours)
Clinical Experience
~150 hours volunteering (combination of work in the ER and patient escort from 2 different hospitals)
~20 hours shadowing in the ER
I will also have 3 strong LORs from my biochemistry research professor, another biochemistry laboratory professor, and the professor whom I did my TA for.
List of Schools I will be Applying:
I will be considered a first time applicant in some of these schools (marked by an asterisk).
Tufts
Boston University
University of Massachusetts
Quinnipiac
Brown
Albany
Albert Einstein*
NY Medical College
University of Rochester
University of Vermont*
Drexel
Penn State*
Temple*
Indiana*
Dartmouth*
