here is my list of info!
GPA: 3.76
MCAT: 497
Research: 2 years (stroke injury rehabilitation) and 1 year public health related. I spent at least over 900 hours total committed to research. Jobs: medical assistant (current), college mentor (1 year), course assistant (2 years).
Letters of rec: one from dean/ochem professor, one from research educator, one from non-science professor and lastly other research educator. I also have my biology professor writing me one just in case the others didn't (but they all submitted into interfolio). Volunteering: 298 logged hours of volunteering at local hospital, 54 logged hours of internal medicine clinic, 50 hours of community service for the homeless, 40 hours oversea in Nicaragua, and finally around 100 hours volunteering for my church.
Extracurriculars: volunteering coordinator for my community outreach organization (3 years), Christian student group (4 years), global medical training group (2 years). Certifications: CNA and CPhT
I have finished my personal statement and the other two essays (had them edited).
I know my MCAT score is weak and I actually did take it again, but voided the score cause I did not felt good about it. I had the same issue with my SAT, but my high school ranking got me into a good Texas school. Should I take another year off to study for my MCAT or just go ahead and apply? I also felt that I didn't really join any premed organizations such as AMSA and really regret it (I'm graduating now).
