Hello All,
I could really use some advice. I am not sure where I stack up amongst other possible med school students, and would like to have some opinions of my current stats.
Age: 32
School: UCSD, currently going into 4th year as a biochemistry/cell biology major
Overall GPA: 3.84
Science GPA: 3.86
Mcat: Not taken yet
Research: I have been working in a neuropathology lab for the last six months ,and will continue to work there.
Previously worked in a chemosensory perception laboratory for 1 quarter
Volunteer work: I have organized warm clothing drives, I have gone into many hospitals and institutions (~100) to speak about the dangers and effects of drugs and alcohol to people who have problems with them.
I am not sure what to do with myself. I have always wanted to be a doctor. Just thought it was too lofty a dream to achieve.
If I were to continue doing research, possibly stay at UCSD for an extra 1 1/2 years and recieve a masters degree, and do some more volunteer work, do you believe I could get into a decent medical school?
Any help or advice is truly appreciated.
