Hello everyone, I have been reading through these forums for a while now and have finally decided to seek some help. I was hoping to get a better understanding from people on where I stand and if what I am planning to do is the right move.
A little about me, I am a first generation south asian. I obtained my undergrad degree (BS in Biological Science) in May 2019. During my time there I went through some ups and downs. I obtained a cgpa of 3.23 and a sgpa 3.05. No Ds/Fs but got Cs. While in college I joined an organization on campus that focused on opening a clinic in a small town in Mexico (w/ providers present), I was also on the board. I made about 14 trips which equates to about 224 hours. I also did research for about two years, didn't publish but presented two posters. During my gap years I worked as an EMT (2000 hours), currently am a CNA in the hospital where I have roughly 200 hours. I have been able to shadow an orthopedic surgeon, family practice doctor, and recently a DO hospitalist (totaling about 40-50 hours).
My main purpose for posting is to get some input from everyone, I was planning on applying this cycle (if my MCAT is stellar). If not, I was going to do a post bacc or SMP in the coming year. I never really had guidance and am really looking forward to hearing back from what everyone thinks. If any more information is needed, I can provide it.
Thank you for reading!
