This is not an endorsement of my road to MD, rather it’s meant to give others hope.
My details:
Lizzy M of 60.5 (7% chance of matriculating)
MCAT 497. Caucasian. CC and online prereqs. Bachelor in non-science from over a decade prior.
No fancy or compelling prior career, but a personal history of grit and perseverance.
Cumulative GPA 3.65.
Accepted into a newer state medical school. No honors, but no fails. Barely breached 200 for step 1, 25 point jump in step 2, pass CS.
Worked my tail of in clinicals, received good comments, earned solid letters, volunteered at severely underserved clinical locations in my spare time during 3rd year.
Matched into a Mayo Clinic residency (not health system, a primary site).
People told me to give up, have a plan B, I wasn’t smart enough, dedicated enough. They told me I was a fool and would never get in.
I chose to listen to my future. You should choose to listen to yours too; you never know where you might end up!
