Hi everyone,
I’m sorry it’s a long post.
I was wondering if you guys can give me input on my stats and whether you believe I would be accepted to any of the school, particularly AZPOD.
my cGPA is a 3.77
My sGPA is a 3.6
My MCAT score is a 494 (I know it’s pretty low)
-I have ~800 hours combined volunteering in hospitals, tutoring pre med majors, and working with underprivileged children (I co-founded a character club and am the Vice President and costume coordinator)
-I have about 175 hours shadowing plastic surgeons in Australia and derm in the US
-I haven’t shadowed a podiatrist yet but am going to all of next week and will likely get a letter of rec from him
I have contemplated taking the MCAT again (I am signed up for it) but I would only be able to in august which would push my app to September. I think that if I apply earlier, I would have a better chance of being accepted than if I retook the MCAT. My fiancé and I are both applying to all 9 schools (he has slightly different stats than me but i would say our stats are on par with each other). We both love everything about pod and are hoping to get into AZPOD as it is our first choice.
opinions?
