I'm just about to get my primary in, but I'm having second thoughts on doing it this year.
I'dlike your thoughts on whether or not I should wait until next app season and take a glide year-and-a-half.
cGPA: 3.38, sGPA: 3.53 with an upward trend on both and straight As in pre-reqs
MCAT: 39M (12 Phys/13 Verb/14 Bio)
~100 hours of shadowing 4 specialities
2 years teaching supplemental orgo classes
1 semester orgo research (all reactions failed heroically, so no pubs)
1 semester as microbiology TA
~100 hours non-medical volunteering
I'm a Michigan resident and I think i'll get into either MSU or Wayne State, but I'd like a better chance at some choicer schools.
If I hold off I'll have a chance to work on clinical EC's etc., my GPA ought to pass 3.4 and if I retake the MCAT I'm confident I can break 40 and replace that frankly embarassing writing score.
ON THE OTHER HAND I'm impatient and I've already put this off for one year for a study abroad that didn't end up happening.
