Hey guys, so I'm new to the website (hello!) I’ve been advised to come here for I -apparently- have a specific case since I’m ex military + Canadian which are two extremes of priority.
In addition to WAMC, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction of a list of US schools that favour class retakes and the class 2 years, what I’ve seen you guys calls, “redemption schools.”
**A little background about me...**
I'm a 27 y/o ORM Canadian from Montreal (notorious McGill is here, yes). I'm currently finishing my Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) in Business Technology Management and I'm about 60% complete my Science Prerequisite courses (I've taken BIO 1, PHYS 1. Currently taking: GEN CHEM 1, PHYS 2, BIO 2. I still have Orgo 1 (maybe 2) to take.) I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to science so my science strength is lackluster for sure but I have a very strong GPA and what I would consider super strong EC's. I haven't taken my MCAT yet but I'm looking for guidance and I'm looking to build a plan tomorrow.
**My EC's (that accompany my background) / GPA**
- Canadian Armed Forces Medical Tech (5 years)
- Pharmacy Lab Tech (4 years)
- Pediatric Physician Assistant/Scribe (1 year)
- MedSpecs Board Executive / interviewer for ICU bridge program (1 year)
-ICU Bridge Program/Shadowing (1 year)
GPA:
3.83 / 4.3 (All schools take A+'s and shift them to A's in Canada, so it doesn't change anything when applying to 4.0 scale schools.)
**The Plan**
I'm out here looking for advice, criticism, for you guys to **** on me, give me advice. I want to be the best possible applicant I can be and I need guidance since I lack people to guide me in the right direction for my MCAT as it's the only real missing piece. Ideally I'd like to find a mentor but anything is appreciated!
**The Goal**
Main focus is matriculation into US medical schools but also am considering McGill. I'm not picky and I don't have a real list at this point. I just purchased MSAR. But MCAT score goal is 518+ for me.
Thank you everyone!
