-Anthropology major. The only science classes I've taken so far are Gen Chem, Organic Chem, Physics, and Biology.
-My overall gpa is a 3.43 and science gpa is 3.51.
-MCAT: 30
-Plan on taking physiology and biochemistry next year. However, considering what I know about those classes at my school, I'm expecting B's at best, probably dropping my science gpa to around a 3.4.
-Community service: tutoring, leadership in service group, weekly soup kitchen
-Studied abroad in China
-No research or health experience, I plan to geting experience next year doing hospital volunteering.
-Asian, CA resident, top 20 school(don't know if this matters)
I'm not going to apply to DO. I'm also not going to apply to medical school right away. What I really wanted to do is spend a couple years volunteering with Americorps. However, I'm not sure I can afford to do that, considering where my gpa will be. Assuming my gpa's stay at 3.4-3.5 level, can I afford to do the volunteer thing after graduation? Or will I probably need to do an SMP or post bac to get into an allopathic school?
