Application Advice Needed!!

[tamkasiam]

Hi guys!

I am currently studying for the MCAT and will take it on Sept 9th meaning I will get my results on OCt. 14. I realize this is very late and that is exactly why I am writing. I am a non traditional applicant; PhD with a child and I was wondering what you guys thought my chances are?

My Profile:
Undergrad GPA: cGPA 3.91 sGPA 3.93

MO Resident... US Citizen, actual legal residence currently in Germany but I am from MO

ECs
500 hrs volunteering in a pediatric orthopedic clinic in Nepal
100hrs shadowing in an Endoscopy Dept
semester in patagonia sea kayaking and mountaineering (NOLS) (also got my Wilderness First Responder)
4 semesters TA for Physics lab
4 semesters TA for Biochemistry
PhD in Neurobiology from Max Planck Institute: First author Nature paper and Second author Current Biology Paper also won Young Scientist of the Year award
2 years work experience for Roche in a global leadership development program

I realize that without a MCAT score it is really hard to judge this, but the entire application process costs a lot of money and I don't want to go through it just to get denied.

I appreciate all the comments!

Do you have any clinical xperience in the US? And, your application will be super late...many schools will already be giving out acceptances in mid-Oct. I would suggest you wait until next year to apply.

Hey guys thanks for the responses. The post was actually from last year, which provides a cool opportunity for you to get feedback on your Adcom skills.

I got a 519 on the MCAT.

I applied to five schools as follows:

Harvard: rejected no ii
Dartmouth: rejected no ii
SLU: rejected no ii
Wash U: accepted off WL
Yale: accepted
