Hi everyone, I wanted to see how my application looks so far. I am planning to start a MSE program, but want to make sure I am on the right track and if it is a good idea for me to start this program. Since I can't raise my GPA up much, I thought having a good graduate gpa, MCAT, and ECs would bulk up my application.
Year: Senior
UG GPA: 3.25 (with upward trend)
(I know its very low, but I have so many credits that it would take 70 credits of A's just to get a 3.4)
MCAT: Scoring around 518 on AAMC practice exams
Major: Microbiology
State: Moving to WA soon and will declare residency
I identify as female and LGBTQ
I am planning on starting a Masters Degree in Biomedical Engineering through a Johns Hopkins hybrid program, since I am passionate about regenerative medicine
I would take a gap semester after graduating then start the program.
I am also really passionate about LGBTQ health and the disparities LGBTQ people face
Non-Clinical Work:
I would like to know if I am competitive or what I can do to add to my application. I also would like to know which schools would be good to apply to, since I have an upward trend, good MCAT, and lots of experience. I'm open to MD and DO (but prefer MD) and plan to apply to schools in/near big cities.
