ORM, undergrad neuroscience major
GA resident, no family in medicine, 1st gen immigrant w/ US citizenship, T50 undergrad institution
cGPA: 3.49, sGPA: 3.10
current SMP student, consistently scoring ~ the average or slightly above mean of M1 class
I unfortunately took the MCAT before I was ready to, but will not make that mistake again
MCAT 500 (CPBS 123, CARS 129, BBLS 123, PSBB 125), plan to retake in July and expected to score much higher after grad program ends - took full length blueprint mock for diagnostic last week and scored 508, and will study intensively starting early June - goal is a 515+ score
2000+ hours clinical experience in EMS
300+ hrs volunteer, mostly nonclinical
~10 hrs shadowing MDs in various specialties
1 summer in bio research lab
LORs from SMP and committee letter
I only plan to apply to MD schools. I would prefer to be in the new england area or the east coast generally, but obviously willing to go pretty much anywhere that might take me. Here is my tentative school list... I would appreciate any and all feedback. Which might be a waste of time/money/ too much of a hail mary for me to apply to? :
