I am currently a Junior biology student, pre-med. The reason that I am asking my chances is because, although I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I wasn't exactly sure how to get there, and I decided late the medical school was my best option. Due to a late decision, I currently have no research experience, and am looking to apply this coming summer. I am working hard to find research opportunities at my school but here are my current credentials...
3.73 GPA
3.9 science GPA
Dance team my freshman year, now just dance on the side at a local studio
Member of the Crew (rowing) team
I have a part-time job working approx. 30 hours a week (so I can pay for medical school)
Volunteer 1-2 times a week at the local free clinic
I took a practice MCAT without preparing just to see where I stand, and I got a 32. I am currently using a study aid to prepare and boost that score!!
I know I am not the most well-rounded pre-medical school with 3 years of research and clinical experience, but I really have the heart for what I want to do in the future! So what are my chances? Do you think the lack of research/experience will hurt me? Any suggestions?
