What would my chances be of getting into medical school right now?
cGPA: 3.87
sGPA: 3.60 (a lot of these A credits come from working at a research lab for over a year. I have a publication, attended a conference and presented a poster, and got a grant from my school for an individual research project)
-Humanities Major in the Honors program at my school and I plan on writing a 30-40 page thesis.
-50 hours of shadowing anesthesiologists, surgeons, internists, and family practice.
-150 hours as a medical interpreter in spanish at a volunteer clinic
-I'll have pretty good LOR from science and non-science professors.
-Work as a teaching assistant and research assistant in the department of humanities.
-Projecting a score between 30-33 on my MCAT.
-Participate in student council in my college.
What worries me most is that i haven't done too well in the pre reqs (bio, ocher, physics). I've gotten B's in a lot of those classes. I have taken other science classes that count toward my GPA and gotten A's (stuff like anatomy, neurobiology, stats, physiology, etc.) and work at a research lab (which really helps boost my sGPA). Counting pre reqs only, I would have about a 3.2 sGPA, but my other science classes have boosted it up quite a bit.
What do you guys think? What can I do to be a better applicant?
