[docdoc912]

What are my chances?

I'm a non-trad, URM, first generation

Undergrad GPA: 3.0
Science GPA: 2.77
Grad GPA: 2.97
MCAT: 524

Tons of paid clinical hours
Tons of volunteering
Own a non-profit/charity geared toward helping Sickle Cell patients who are underserved
Some research no pubs
Have stories of why my GPAs suffered, worked full time through undergrad, gave birth during my Master's (upward trend in my masters if that matters)
I think my personal statement is amazing (I have a really good story of why I want to be a doctor)
Do I have a chance at MD or DO or will I be screened out? I'm really interested in urban medicine (not at all rural)
Should I apply this cycle? Get another Masters or do undergrad courses to bring up my science GPA, I'm so confused at this point any advice will be greatly appreciated.

What mentoring programs for aspiring Black physicians have you joined? Have you met any NMA mentors?

I agree you should have a champion team, and you're best chances are in state and HBCU programs.

I do have a few mentors and I am a member of SNMA. I talked to one who says I should take more classes to increase my GPA and another who is saying leave well enough alone and see what happens since I did so well on my MCAT. Just curious to see what other people think. I'm going to apply this cycle but don't know if I should take extra classes to raise either GPA or if my time and money would be better spent doing something else in case I have to reapply next cycle. Thank you for the advice.
