I applied to 15 schools, with about half being top 20 schools. Here are my stats:
MCAT: 32 (12 B,11 P,9 V)
GPA: 3.78
Research: 1 full year paid research assistant, 1 summer paid apprenticeship (different labs)
1 semester for credit junior year
completing an honors thesis senior year
presented my initial findings of thesis at Experimental Biology Conference
awarded 3 undergraduate grants for research
Clinical Experience: worked as home caregiver then nurse's aide
volunteered in nursing homes and with disability homes
Extracurricular Activities: colony coordinator and founder of a chapter of Phi Delta Epsilon (medical fraternity), first acting president, alpha initiate, etc.
Delegate of Phi Delta Epsilon's Leadership conference
Member of an intercollegiate equestrian team (4 year member, 1 year vice president)
I really want to go to a top 20 school, but I know my MCAT is a little low. Will my research, paid clinical experience, and extracurricular activities help me for top schools?
One last kicker is my application is still being verified. I submitted in beginning of August, but transcripts and letters recently were received. I have 4 secondaries already (but I think these go to everyone who applied).
HELP!!!
