Hi everyone,
I am looking to apply to career changer post bacc pre-med programs this fall, but am unsure of the strength of my application and need some insight. I am a current Junior at a public university who will be a first semester senior upon application. I transferred here from an Ivy due to a chronic illness that became unmanageable (this is apart of my narrative), but I had a 4.0 there as well. I’m studying a humanities major that is bio-oriented, but I only have bio classes and no other med school pre-reqs (besides two statistics course, one 400-level). My SAT was low 1500s when I took it in 2018. As I am still in undergrad, I am not sure if I should apply right when applications open in August or wait until the end of fall semester in December. What are your thoughts? If I apply in August, I will have ~250 hours as an EMT in a rural area, ~150 hours clinical volunteering, some shadowing, ~400 hours autopsy internship under a forensic pathologist, ~300 hours non clinical volunteering (animal rescue, tutoring, sexual assault advocate), and some ECs related to my interests. Also, am I competitive for the top programs, like Goucher or Bryn Mawr? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you!!
