Hi! I'm currently mid-cycle and haven't heard much from the schools I applied to (1 II from a difficult school to get in OOS, 2 interview holds, 7 pre-II rejections, and 24 schools to hear from). I don't really have any close family/friends in the medical field so would love to hear thoughts on how to improve my application as I start to prepare to reapply next year.
GPA
total: 3.78
science: 3.82
MCAT: 513 (128/126/131/128)
CA resident
Activities
Clinical Volunteering: 25 hours
Shadowing: 26 hours
Research (lab): 2500+ hours
Clinical employment (medical assistant): 91 hours
Non-medical volunteer: 210 hours
Leadership position in a club, membership in the American Medical Women's Association
Only have 1 science letter of rec
About to publish as second-author on a scientific paper
------
I'm thinking about retaking my MCAT or taking a non-degree science class somewhere to get an additional letter of rec/maybe transitioning out of a lab job and back to a clinical job? Idk where to go from here, any help would be appreciated
