Hi guys, I could really use some guidance on applications. Any and all help is appreciated.
GPA Sub 2.0 cgpa and spa (excluding post bacc gpa)
Post bacc GPA: 3.87cgpa (51 credit hours) 3.81sgpa (30 credit hours). Opted for a second bachelors (2 years) due to the limited post-bacc options in Canada, currently done year 1 (39 credit hours). Additionally I retook (12 credit hours) pre reqs in which I got a C- or lower online (in person labs) at a different school.
Includes classes like: Biostats, Pathophysiology, Parasitology, Epidemiology etc..
MCAT: Scheduled for mid August (scored a sub 510 on AAMC FL's last year, building back up to that)
Ethnicity: South Asian Male
Clinical Hours 4000+
Volunteer Hours: 1500+
Other/Hobbies: 5000+
No research posters or pubs until now, but poster presentation plus one year of research as apart of the second year of my program (2024-2025).
While combining both my pre req re takes and my post bacc program, I should have a 3.85+ gpa in 84 credit hours of course work by April 2025. No reason for doing bad in my first undergrad besides not caring/trying. I've held a couple leadership positions in school and have many achievements in my other hobbies. I have strong reqs from MD's ive worked with during my clinical experiences as well as 2 profs (1 science). While I know it's best to apply as early as possible, I was wondering if I should submit primaries at holistic schools without MCAT cut offs (e.g. Wayne- State). My app would be complete for mid September, and id aim to submit secondaries as fast as possible. Only looking to apply to 10-15 schools.
