Hello all,
Can someone give my some advices to improve my medical school application? Also, what are my chances to get into medical schools in Texas?
My status:
Current GPA: 4.0. Sciences GPA: 4.0 non-science GPA 4.0
I got an Associate biological degree in community college. (Honor graduation)
I am a sophomore with Medical Laboratory Sciences (B.S) major and I intend to have 1 gap year to go to work and save money for MCAT and med school apps.
I have already taken ALL pre-requisite for medical schools with minor in Chemistry as well.
Work experiences:
Math tutor for 3 years in community college
Lab safety assistant officer in a 4-year school (current)
Extracurricular activities:
Volunteer in chemistry research lab (silver nano particles) and computational chemistry.
Volunteer in hospital (ER, giftshop, information reception desk) (500 hours - recently)
Shadowing a surgeon (about 200 hours)
All I need to do is to get a good MCAT score? Is there any advanced biological classes I should I need to take to make my app look good?
Thanks!

Are you a resident of Texas?

Your MCAT is really important so can't comment fully without having a score; however, at your current trajectory, prepare and score well and you should have a great shot.

Right now, focus on completing your degree, maintain your GPA, and _potentially_ look into research as another element to round out your application.
