Ok, i am gonna put myself out there with the hopes of some guidance. At this point, I have no clue what i should do. Maybe someone could provide some unchartered insight?
Nontraditional applicant (non URM)
Undergrad GPA (state school) 2.5
***extreme family illness combined with major case of immaturity
Grad GPA (private school) 3.7
7 years of volunteer work
1 year experience as phlebotomist/EKG tech on telemetry unit
3.5 years experience in clinical oncology research
6 months (so far) in basic research (Heme malignancies)
2 poster presentations
5 abstracts (co author)
3 journal articles (co author)
Speaker at oncology research seminar
Several positive recommendations from influential university professors
MCAT 3xs (19,22,23) 🙁 and that is after taking TPR AND Kaplan!
This is my second time applying. I wrote a letter to accompany my secondary applications stating my MCAT score does not reflect my true intellect and that test anxiety played a major part in my performance.
I received my first rejection this week (vermont). I am pretty sure the others will be arriving shortly. This is my first year applying to osteopathic school. I would much rather go to an allopathic school because i am most interested in neurological research. (I have 4 family members with severe neurological disorders)
Can anyone give me some advice? I feel like the rest of my application is being overlooked because of my MCAT score! I am so frustrated!
