What are My Chances and Should I Wait a Year??

[Led man123]

I am a non-traditional student with the below stats. MCAT is pending until July, but am consistently scoring 508 or above. As of right now only looking at DO, but with the right MCAT will apply MD as well. I was a dummy and did not get any shadowing in. I'll try to before I submit, but there is no guarantee due to Covid. Thoughts on this being a dealbreaker? Do I need to wait to beef up the clinical experience?

No bets without an official MCAT score, of course. I would reach out at minimum to all your in-state MD and DO options because they would give you the best chance to be admitted as an in-state applicant. On face value, your clinical exposure hours look fine. Network with other non-trad medical students among the posters on SDN (there is a non-trad forum I think).

I was a non traditional student . I created a video with a little advice for all of you.
