Applied only to in state med school(Mississippi at the time)straight out of undergrad with:

504 MCAT (didn't study as much as I should have)
100 hospital volunteering hours
~100 shadowing hours

Was not accepted

Pursued a Masters in BME because I decided to give engineering a closer look: cGPA: 3.29

800-1000 of research for thesis on medical device

500 hours as a Graduate Teaching Assistant

200 Leadership hours (mentor young men through my church)

Worked as a product engineer for med device company for 2 years.

I'm assuming I need to add to/refresh my clinical and shadowing hours, and score 510+ on the MCAT to be competitive for MD.

You need 150+ hours of non clinical volunteering such as food bank, homeless shelter, etc. Also another 100+ hours of clinical volunteering. Post your MCAT score here in the future when available.
Will do, thank you for the reply
