I am a Maryland resident and am planning to apply to AMCAS MD schools in June. These are my stats:
sgpa: 3.71
cgpa: 3.86
MCAT: 512
I also have 12 months of research experience with one publication back when I was in undergrad. I currently work as a medical assistant so I have >2,500 hours in a clinical setting and have >100 volunteer hours as well. My LORs are stellar; I even had a couple of the doctors I work with write on my behalf.
Here's the deal though, I took the MCAT in September of 2016 and rashly decided to submit an application in October, not understanding just how much of a disadvantage I was giving myself. Only applied to five schools on the east coast and wasn't accepted anywhere except Eastern Virginia where I am currently waitlisted (among top 1/3 of list). So I am getting all my materials ready to submit on the first of June and give myself a fighting chance. I am a graduate of UMD, College Park and UMD, Baltimore is my first choice. Where else should I apply?
