Hey all. Just been stressing out and working on my med applications (2025/2026 cycle). Note: I am a Canadian applicant.
Been studying for the MCAT (projecting 520s if all goes well based off FLs)
GPA is on the much lower side due to a horrible first year (0.5 GPA...yeah) Without it my GPA would be ~3.6
Trend: 0.5 GPA (1st year), 3.2 GPA (2nd year), 3.64 (3rd year), 3.58 (4th year), and 3.85 GPA (5th year). Graduated with First Class Award + Dean's Honor List.
My ECs by the time I apply would be
400 hours volunteering at a mental health center focusing on the recreational department (lots of patient contact) ensuring patients complete their program successfully (Help with physical activity, ensure they are well entertained, fed, and have plenty discussions to check in on them)
650-700 hours clinical work at a hospital using equipment, talking to patients, assisting procedures
No research/shadowing
200 hours volunteering at a cancer support community helping with fundraising as well providing assistance to affected families
Am I doomed, I have too many credits where doing courses only does very tiny to my cGPA even if it's 4.0.
