What are my chances to getting into an MD program? And at what level of medical school? I applied anywhere from Rosfrank, Geisinger Commonwealth, Geisel, Einstien, all UCs, Tufts, Case Western... Also applied to 6 DO schools w/in my range.
Asian Female, CA resident.
Stats:
cGPA: 3.55, sGPA: 3.53. Got mostly Bs first half of college, then mostly As second half. MCAT 510 (disappointed in my score bec way lower than practice tests. Did not retake bec advisors told me not to.... now slightly regretting it!)
Experience/volunteer during college:
Clinical research w/autism and apahsia 2 yrs
(paid) Marine bio research 2 years
(paid) Intro Chem TA 2 years
Multiple hospital volunteer (6 months)
2 work study jobs (2 years total)
Gap year:
ABA therapist
Working as mental health associate in big name hospital
I am very nervous about my GPA and MCAT scores closing a lot of doors on me.... hoping that the schools will consider my experience? ALSO part of reason why sophmore year was 95% Bs was bec was in LDR and partner had depression so that took a mental toll. Should I mention this in secondaries and tie what I learned from this situation it into my app somehow?
