Just looking for a little advice/ insight.
No prior service Back ground.
Civilian NREMT-Paramedic
ACLS
PHTLS
CCT
FPC
and many more ... you guys get the theme
10 years of experience
Currently on assignment for a Remote medical Care provider in the Gulf of Mexico. With higher Autonomy and skill set.
Excellent EC's
Very Strong Letters of Recommendation
Very Strong Experiences and Volunteer work
Very much a non trad (Worked at night on a high Volume CCT Unit while obtaining the degree)
3.2 cGPA 3.15 sGPA
I have applied ED this cycle to a state school that favors in state applicants very heavily >95%
My Dilemma is the MCAT score I received. I am in the process of revising my approach and have contacted Next step and will be taking their Diagnostic when I go on days off this next rotation. I scored below my goal and below what I feel will secure me an interview. I admit I made a lethal mistake while preparing. I took hundreds of practice problems, but failed to take a FL practice exam and with out a doubt my score suffered.
The reason for this post is I am considering enlisting in Reserves, possibly AF of Army depending on possible MOS opportunities and incentives. I will be unable to complete and worthy post bach or MS program with my Work schedule. Anything offered online is moving laterally I fear and not forward. I feel that serving my country and gaining valuable leadership experience would further compliment my application for next year's cycle. I also plan on attacking the MCAT on all fronts with outside help and guidance from experts.
Any insight and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Please refrain from character bashing that is repetitively seen in other sections of the forum.
God bless you all and thank you for your service!!
