Hello all. I've used SDN for years, but after an unsuccessful app cycle this year, I've decided to finally ask for some assistance. I only applied to a few schools last cycle, but I thought I would just give it a shot since I had AAMC Fee Assistance. In hindsight, I shouldn't have applied last year.
About me: I'm a female URM from Texas with a Liberal Arts degree from a T20 undergrad, and I'm now pushing 30. I have thousands of hours of clinical experience and research experience, hundreds of hours of volunteering with the same few organizations, plenty of leadership/strong ECs, and great rec letters (at least the ones I have read) from professors and physicians I have worked with. I come from a low SES background.
Last cycle:
Thank you!

Last cycle:
- 3.39 GPA, 2.7 sGPA
- 50x MCAT retake, rescheduled 10000000x due to COVID
- 3.39 GPA --> 3.47 GPA, 2.7 sGPA --> 3.2 sGPA
- I will have finished 30 hours of postbac science classes at the end of this semester and am anticipating that I'll uphold my 4.0 postbac GPA. I retook some classes I previously got a C- in and also took some new classes. All of my classes count towards AACOMAS' science GPA. A few of those hours may not count towards TMDSAS' BCPM GPA- I know my stats are still too low for most TMDSAS schools, so my plan has been to focus on AACOMAS
- 50x MCAT retake. I physically couldn't find the time to study for another retake while working full time and also being a full time student
- Hopefully will have a publication by the time the cycle opens, under review currently. Either way, I have a bunch more research hours
- I have some DO shadowing hours now but no DO rec letter, just MD letters
Thank you!
