Hey everyone,
I'm currently getting everything together to begin re-applying in June. At the moment, I'm on the upper 1/3rd of the wait list at one of my states MD schools. I applied the first time two years ago to only a handful of schools and was put on the upper 1/3rd of the wait list at the same school I'm waitlisted at now. Unfortunately, I realized a little too late last summer that I may not be getting in after having some false hope and quickly re-took the MCAT and re-applied. Unfortunately, i did a point worse. I had also applied to a few DO schools but it was already very late in the season (sept) and I got no play. I retook my MCAT for a third time this past Jan and received a 30M (10,9,11). I realized I didn't want to make the same mistake as last year and started to get things ready to apply early as possible, and very broadly. I'm looking to apply to around 12-15 MD schools and 5-7 DO schools in total. Here are my current stats:
- 3.6 (listed as a 3.68 in AACOMAS, but 3.6 in AMCAS) cGPA.
-MCAT: 30M (10,9,11) (This was my third time taking it. Scored a 27P the first time and 26O the second)
- 5 and a half years experience working in an Orthopedic surgeon's office/ PT clinic as a Physical Therapist Tech. Also have work experience in the office as a Medical Assistant / Scribe.
- 40 Hours shadowing my former pediatrician as well as several other physicians.
- College athlete. Played for my College's Rugby team for 4 years and was also the Captain and Vice President of the club.
- Played my first season of Semi Professional Rugby.
- Was hired by my college's athletic department to tutor athletes in various science courses.
- Volunteered as a part time Assistant Coach for my college's Rugby Team.
- ~200 Hours as a volunteer wrestling coach at my former high school.
- Active member of my colleges Pre-health Club and Alpha Epsilon Delta.
- 8 Hrs as a medical volunteer at a Triathlon.
- Several other volunteer experiences.
- Listed as an economically disadvantaged student.
I'm looking to apply very broadly and need a little help in figuring out the schools I'd have the best shot at getting into. Also, I'm a VA resident. Thanks for the help everyone
