Hi y'all,
I could really use some helpful and constructive advice. I graduated c/o 2021 with dual majors in humanities and biology and applied this cycle with my 510 MCAT. I submitted most of my secondaries 3-5 weeks after I was invited to do so. I got 1 interview (waitlist), the rest are rejected or pending.
Race/Ethnicity: Asian
Gender: male (he/him/his)
GPA: 3.97 cumulative and bpcm at top UC school
MCAT: Took twice 509 -> 510
State of Residence: CA
Interests: biopsychosocial, social determinants of medicine, humanistic perspective of medicine
MBTI: ENFJ
EC: heavy clinical, heavy community service, some artistic endeavors and fun, low research. Overall strong (Not worried about this as much) and in this gap year, I expanded into more research and clinical positions.
Applied to schools: UCLA, UCI, Georgetown, Albany, George Washington, Temple, Penn State, Jefferson, UC Riverside, CUSM, Rochester, SUNY Upstate, SUNY Downstate, Stony Brook, Miami, Tulane, Loyola, USC, UC Davis, Arizona Tucson, Arizona Phoenix, Rutgers RWJ, Rutgers NJMS, Einstein,
During my application cycle, I had no peers involved with medicine or premedicine. NOW, I have had peers in med school read my application and I asked them what I could have done to improve and they suggested that my writing style needs to improve.
I am debating if I should re-take the MCAT for a THIRD TIME. Because the first two times I took it, I was also simultaneously taking courses at school to graduate. (I did not know any better that retaking it was frowned upon). I would love if anyone would be available for a Zoom call/meeting..., but also I am excited to start using SDN too.
Can you help me with a school list? / Should I take the MCAT a third time?
