Been lurking a long time but I'm considering applying and I just wanted to know what kinds of schools I might be able to get into. (CA ORM, graduating in a month)

GPA: 3.8x

MCAT: haven't taken yet but I got a 515 on the first FL, testing 4/29

Research: on and off for the last three years with 1 pub (not 1st author)

Volunteering (clinical): a little over 300ish hours

Non-clinical volunteering: ~1500 hours (w/ leadership position)

Extracurriculars: A couple international business competitions (within top 10 rankings), a few internships with large companies (and 1 with a large biotech company), and C-suite and/or founder at 5 different (very successful) companies



I'm making some pretty serious bank at said companies and honestly medicine is just something I've kind of pursued on the side, so I'm not in a huge rush to apply (also graduating two years younger than all my peers). Is it worth it for me to apply this year (or at all lol)? Which schools would I have a decent shot at? Would really appreciate any thoughts!

Hard to say without an actual MCAT score, but more importantly. Why medicine? Do you have shadowing experience? And more importantly - why medicine?

If you're not committed to medicine, I don't see any point in applying.
