Hi,
I was planning on applying this cycle to MD schools, my cGPA is 3.63, sGPA 3.4 (C in Orgo 2, but hoping to get that up after taking 3 science classes this summer) and haven't taken MCAT yet (taking it in 2 weeks). Have more than a year of research experience, but no publications.
However, I just have about 30 hour of Doctor shadowing and absolutely no clinical volunteering. This is because I immigrated to the US at the beginning of my freshman year in college and lost 2 years trying to "fit in" and during my current year I transferred to a 4 year institute. This summer I hope to start by volunteering.
My question is if it is a long shot applying this semester, specially with the low science gpa and no clinical volunteering?
