So i just want to know where im standing and what i need to improve on before application time

Cali resident
- 3.3 GPA/3.0 science ( i know these are gonna hurt me real bad)
- over 300 hours volunteering
- leadership positions in 2 on campus club one secretary the other volunteer chair
- participation in summer program for those interested in rural medicine/serving underserved populations
- 2 research positions- one done for a quarter the other for 2 quarters..getting a publication out of that
- shadowing various specialities
- work with patient affairs to get feedback from patients about residents
- tutoring program for teens from disadvantaged backgrounds
- play in university philarmonic, private violin recitals

So based on this approximately what MCAT score do i need to be considered for MD admission?

As high as possible, preferably above a 35. I applied this cycle with similar stats with an MCAT of 30, only received an interview invite from UCLA.

Im sure this is the last thing you wanna hear...but wouldn't this thread be better suited to the what are my chances thread?

Ive feel like Ive seen 5 of these today already...

Get a good 32-35 MCAT and apply broadly, not just to CA schools.

Sounds like you have good experiences. Can your gpa get any higher with the time you have left in UG?
