Hey you all! I was just wanting some direction moving forward. I am prepared to not get accepted after applying to my first MD cycle but I just want to make sure I'm giving myself the best odds in the future. Here are my stats.
TN Resident
ORM
cGPA: 3.77
sGPA: 3.71
MCAT: 504 (124,128,126,126), 507 (126,125,127,129)
Volunteering: ~50 hours at first application will have 300+ by next June if I continue current volunteering (mostly non-clinical)
Physician Shadowing: 20 hours
Clinical Experience: 10,000+ hours as medical tech then lead scribe, still working as a scribe with more involvement in clinical trials
Research: 200+ hours with old practice I wrote a paper but unfortunately no pub/poster.
School List for this Cycle:
UTHSC, ETSU, USC Greenville, WF, WVU, Creighton, Rosalind Franklin, MCW, NOVA, VCU
So far no II and one rejection.
Misc.: I, also, received the Pell Grant throughout undergrad due to my mother's income but I didn't declare SES disadvantaged because I wasn't sure if I qualified or if it would make a huge difference.
I am curious if I should look more into a SMP or a change in jobs? I don't know if a third attempt at the MCAT would be helpful but I'll do whatever it takes. I was just hoping you all could direct me moving forward and maybe help with a school list for next cycle if this one turns out to not be in the cards for me! Thank you!
