Hello to all of my fellow Premeds,
I'm new to this website and don't know everything about it. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and ask for a piece of wisdom from you guys. I am premed at USC majoring in biomedical engineering. Before transferring to USC, i took most of my lower division classes at a community college. I am going to list my stats below and wanted your opinion about my chances of getting admitted to an allopathic medical school. I am a bit hesitant about applying this cycle but my inner feelings tell me that i should give it a shot and see what happens.
Undergrad: USC
Year: Junior
Major: biomedical engineering
AMCAS Science GPA: 3.65
AMCAS overal GPA: 3.49
MCAT first try: ( 7 V, 9 p, 7 B); going to retake the new version on late august
Extracurricular activities:
160 hrs volunteering at a hospital over 4 years
20 hrs volunteering at a church
40 hrs of shadowing a radiologist
20 hrs of shadowing an internal medicine Dr
One semester of clinical research at a children's hospital
Hobbies: Ping pong, soccer not professionally though
see, even though i have a 3.65 science GPA, i took most of my science classes like physics, gen chem, and math classes at a community college. But i did take ochem 2 and biochemistry at USC and got A- and B on each respectively.
Again, i really appreciate it if you guys could give a feedback on my situation and whether i should apply this cycle or wait another year and then apply.
Thank you,
