What are my chances?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
DO schools and MD schools which reward reinvention will look at you if you get a respectable MCAT, so if you are committed to medicine the work involved in the MCAT should be worth it to you.

Come back when you get a score.
 
I've posted in this thread before and I would like to ask the same question-what are my chances? My undergraduate degree is in Management Consulting from Notre Dame, in which I finished with a 2.8 GPA. I simply wasn't focused in school. Several life events made me change my career path to one in medicine instead of corporate. I went onto the University of Minnesota and received a Masters in Kinesiology with a 3.7 GPA. I just completed a post-bacc at Charles R. Drew University, where my post-bacc science GPA is 3.92. My AMCAS overall GPA is now a 3.11 and my non-science GPA is 2.9. I am also an URM female.

Here are some of my extracurricular stats:
-1 year of research experience with 3 publications
-100 hours of volunteering (still continuing with this, will be at 230 by the time I apply; also plan on shadowing physicians)
-80 hours of tutoring math and Spanish
-Currently working at a non-profit that connects cancer patients to clinical trials

I plan on taking the MCAT in Spring 2018. Do I have a chance at getting into medical school? I am worried that I won't make it past the initial screenings. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

A strong MCAT and you've got a shot. Be open to DO programs too though.
 
If you obtain a MCAT of 508 or higher your chances for a MD acceptance are 75%. Below 500 and your chances for MD are minimal. Post your score here when available
