Just got my preliminary MCAT info:
Chem/Phys: at least 93%
CARS: 87%
Bio/Biochem: 87%
Psych/Soc: at least 93%
Overall - at least 91% or 514 (or 33 on old test)
Unless I get either particularly unlucky or lucky, I think 95% overall (516) is a reasonable estimate. (34-35 on old test)
-White male traditional applicant
-3 yrs research experience (three projects, two of them paid positions including REU, one poster presentation)
-250+ hrs clinical volunteering
-80+ hours shadowing 2 specialties
-1000+ hours at one long term nonclinical volunteering position
-3 significant teaching/tutoring jobs (including a leadership position at my university)
- 1 or 2 years of random employment during undergrad
-3 LORS (two from PIs on my longest project, one from science prof)
I'm applying MD/PhD so research is heavily emphasized in my app. I'm passionate about a relatively unpopular area of research for medicine, and I talk a LOT about how I've taken steps to prepare myself for that developing field etc.
How do you all think I will fare at the TX MD schools?
Thanks!!!
