I just got my MCAT scores back and I'm pretty disappointed; I scored higher on every AAMC practice test, and got a 519 on the one immediately before testing. I had been using the averages of my practice scores to compile my list, but now that doesn't work anymore, so now I need some help compiling a new school list.
1. cGPA: 3.71 sGPA: 3.55 MCAT: 511 (125/130/126/130)
worried that this score is really unbalanced and I have two C's, one in gen chem first semester of freshman year, and one in biochem my junior year. I have a 4.0 since then however, so some upward trend? I'm mostly worried that this makes me look really weak in chem and bio.
2. white male LA resident, UG Tulane
3. I have probably around 150-200 hours volunteering in the ED, a good portion of which was spent shadowing ED physicians and a couple hours with neurologists and a neurosurgeon
4. ~800 hours in a regenerative neuroscience lab, no publications
5. as far as non-clinical volunteering, I don't have a ton. I have volunteered with a memory center (20 hrs), and with middle school students teaching robotics and music (20 and 40 hrs, resp.)
6. leadership: have spent 3 years as an RA, on the board of the university's campus programming committee, last summer and the coming summer will spend in Alaska teaching boy scouts rock climbing
taking a gap year; I applied for a Fulbright ETA to Vietnam, and if I don't get that, I plan on working on application weaknesses.
