Hello all,
Undergrad (humanities major): fresh 2.4, soph 3.1, junior 3.1, senior 3.7 || total 3.01
Postbacc (DIY): 4.0 (52 credits all BCPM)
cGPA: 3.35
sGPA: 3.68 or 3.77 (AMCAS)*, 3.81 (AACOMAS)
*depends on whether or not an undergrad sociology class (SOCY 220: "Statistics") will be counted as BCPM or not. If not, then 3.77.
MCAT: 514 (125/127/131/131)
~1000 clinical, 1000+ volunteering (500+ clinical/500+ non-clinical), lots of leadership (started my own volunteer organization focused on my underserved community), 600+ clinical research (1 first author manuscript under review, 1 other manuscript under review, 1 poster presentation, 1 abstract under review), Solid LORS
My ECs, narrative, and writing are heavily focused on underserved and disadvantaged communities, particularly in a rural/semi-rural setting. I'm also a reinventor after non-ideal performance in undergrad due to no direction and goals. Worked a few years after undergrad in non-stem related career, grew a lot, & realized that medicine is what I wanted to pursue.
I really want to go the MD route but I also want to be realistic. For MD, my list comprises of mission-fit schools and low-tier programs, along with my state school.
Also, is there anything from now until application time this summer that I can do to significantly enhance my app? Take more classes? Retake the MCAT?
