What does everyone think?

I'm currently applying to school for the second time. I just want everyone's honest opinion to whether I have a shot of getting into med school or not. My profile is below. If you have time, please take a look at it. Thanks in advance for your input.

Yep. You have a good chance. I hope you didn't wait to submit your AMCAS application until today, because that could hurt you.

Assuming you got it in a month ago, you should be gravy. 👍

 

[chooxu]

Yeah, I submitted it about two months ago.

you've got a great chance...don't sweat it! 👍

I have two concern on your application. One of course being the verbal score. I hope you addressed this on your application and had something in your transcripts to offset it, As in English, publications, etc. Point these out to schools. The other is that you didn't apply to many/a variety of schools. While your scores are good, they are only average. I wish you the best of luck, but also understand that most of us won't get into a top 5 school. Besides that, call/write/email the schools to let them know you're interested and what has changed since you submitted your app. It will help with the interviews. Otherwise, study for the april MCAT and see if you can bring up that score.

Good luck and I hope all goes well.

Is English your second language? If that's the case, I think you're golden with those 13's on the sciences. If not, you still have a good shot IMHO.

 

[chooxu]

Yeah, english is my second language. Thanks for your input.

looks good, especially the medical missionary to nicaragua. how did you get involved with that? it's something im very interested in, can you lead me in the right direction?

 

[chooxu]

I got it through my church. I happened to know a doctor who goes to my church, and I found out from him.
