Hello everyone! This is my first post on SDN. I'm just curious what you think my chances are for medical school..
I have been an active duty medic in the army for 4 years now. I have a BA in psychology, an AA in general science and an AAS in paramedicine. I am a certified paramedic through the NREMT. My total GPA is 3.89, I haven't taken the MCAT yet but I am currently studying for it. I have several awards, including valedictorian of my paramedic class, a distinguished leadership award and a distinguished honorgrad award from the army's basic leaders course. I get out of the army in 8 months and I will soon be starting a post baccalaureate pre-med program to get a few science classes that I am missing. I work in a clinic every day and I will have over 2000 clinical hours by the time I get out. I work with both PA's and MD's and I can get several excellent letters of recommendation.
In addition, I am fluent in both English and Swedish. The one thing I am lacking is research, but could my military experience make up for that?
I want to apply for matriculation in 2018, and I am just curious to hear from you with experience, what do you think my chances are for getting in to med school? I have a lot of life and clinical experience and a lot of schooling. Do you think all this will be enough to get me accepted?
