Hello everyone, wanted to know if I have a chance anywhere this cycle or maybe I should take another year and boost my app with shadowing, volunteer, research, etc.
Any advice is much appreciated!!
Tentative school list: DO

- Anything else you think might be important: WEAK to MID letters plus 4 gap years but not much to show for those years. School list is still pretty big and needs some narrowing down to a total of about 30 schools. Highly prefer coastal schools because I really like the water but realize I don't have much control/choice/chances due to my lackluster app.
Any advice is much appreciated!!
