I just got my MCAT score back and I am so disappointed. I was aiming for a 506.
I got a 501 (123,124,125,129)
sgpa: 3.2 cum gpa: 3.43
URM: African woman
EC: 1.5 years of scribing, 9 months of COVID testing, 6 months of behavioral tech, 1 year of hospice volunteering.
Do I still apply or should I just apply to a post bacc ?
I was primarily going to do DO. If I should still apply can someone help me with a school list please?

What non-clinical community service activities have you participated in? Please follow the WAMC Template.

I read to elementary school students

Hey, incoming M1 here. I am URM (AA male) and I had the same MCAT score w/121 CARS and essentially a bit higher GPA. Received 3 MD and 2 DO II and essentially withdrew my application from other schools after I received my first acceptance on Oct.17th. I say this because you are essentially in the same position I was when applying. I was accepted to 4 schools with scholarship offers and I decided to not attend one of the interviews. Your school list looks fine, but how many non-clinical volunteering hours do you have(like did work you with homeless population, underrepresented communities), like actually working in the communities/demographics that you might want to serve as a physician? If there is no other person providing you guidance along this journey, I am willing to do that. You can PM me if you want.

 

[pinkracer]

Oh wow. Yes that would be very helpful !
I'll PM you

 

[Mr.Smile12]

OP: are you reading to elementary students as part of an organized literacy program? I still am concerned you don't have enough service orientation in your non-clinical community service where you are in community with those in need. Food distribution, job placement services, shelter work, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation are examples.
