Hey people,

Kinda copied this post from someone who had simliar story to mine. I am new to SDN and was seeking advice. I am a re-applying to medical schools this year (2 year gap since last application and undergrad), NY resident. I want to know if I should apply to school with my current stats and hope to get in or should retry on the MCAT. I would prefer to get into state school.

This is what I am applying with cGPA: 3.72 and sGPA: 3.66

MCAT took in March 2017: 509 (Chem 127, CARS 127, BIO 129, Pysch 126)

Extracurriculars: Research: 300 hours, Clinical Volunteering: 100 hours, Nonclinical Volunteering (several roles): 150 hours, Paid Position (scribing): 1000 hours

I have school committee letter and 5 LORs (two MDs and 3 school professors).
