Hey guys, little background, I am in this current cycle, having interviewed at two schools in the state of Michigan - WSUSOM and MSUCOM.
My MCAT was a 505 126 125 126 128
My science GPA is a 3.67 but with a strong upward trend having gotten a 3.90 junior year with 30 credits and a 3.86 senior year with 19 credits.
Cumulative GPA is a 3.70
Activities include Supplemental Instructor, anatomy teaching assistant with the special use of cadavers (prosection and dissection) in both undergraduate and graduate programs, a publication in an anatomy textbook, Pharmacy Technician, Physician shadowing, community service with Arab-american community, also President experience of a university society (Pre-Dental as I was predental at the time)
What I am wondering is basically what was wrong with my application that can be improved upon should I not make it in this cycle? My interviews were both late (February for Wayne and March for MSUCOM) I have yet to hear back from either program about a waitlist spot or acceptance or anything. I have sent in update letters to both stating my involvement as a volunteer and also with my Fall grades.
Let me say this - I really don't want to retake the MCAT. I thought that with my 505 I'd be able to make it into at least one of my 7 state schools, but all other 5 rejected me pre-II. I was looking into possibly doing more patient care as the only patient care I have is as a pharmacy technician. Any suggestions/comments?
