Hello,
I just wanted some thoughts on my stats and where I plan to apply, if you think I have a shot, or if you think I should try applying to other schools.
Stats:
Undergrad cumulative GPA in General Business from University of Maryland, College Park 05': 3.0
Current Post-bac GPA: 3.87 - plan to have a 3 more As by the end of May
Kaplan MCAT practice tests: 16, 18, 19, going to do another online one tonight - Very low, I know, but I asked some of the other students in my Kaplan course and they said they were about the same. Should I post-pone my scheduled May 27th MCAT exam to July/August so I can really study over the summer? It is pretty hard to find time to study with 3 hard science courses at the same time.
Volunteering Hours at ER: 175 hours - plan to reach 250
My post-bac program allows me to apply to 15 schools, every one after 15 is a $15 fee.
Clearly my mcat scores are not so hot, and because of this I plan on applying to the following schools:
Foreign Schools:
1. Universita de Guadalajara
2. Sackler in Israel - long shot probably
3. Ben Gurion in Israel - I have family there
4. Technion in Israel
Caribbean schools:
5. AUC
6. ROSS
7. SABA
8. St. George's
9. St. Matthews
10. AUA
American schools:
11. University of Maryland - probably no shot in hell, unless I magically score a 29+ on mcat
12. Howard - I don't know if I will get accepted since I am white
13. ?
14. ?
15. ?
What are 3 more lower end American MD schools (in the event I manage to do really well on the MCAT). Thanks for your help folks!
