fiascoproblem Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I am a Canadian citizen from Ontario. I am applying to medical schools this year, and I just graduated from a 4 year BSc program from UofT. GPA: 3.89 OMSAS (around 3.92 for AMCAS I think) MCAT: 505 (127/124/127/127) --> hoping for a 510 - 513 on a redo in few days (My weakness is CARS. I still cannot get it above 125 so that limits my application in Canada to a lot of schools.) ECs: Quite a few. 400 hours of hospital volunteering. Around 50 - 100 hours of Distress Centre volunteering. More than 1 full year of research (1 tertiary author, 1 primary author publication --> in review, 1 children's research symposium award). 1 year of course based research (research presentation award at the end). 1 NSERC research award. TA for a year. School first year menthor for 2 years. President for a club for a year. Other small club roles. A school wide leadership award winner. Being from Ontario, I am most limited with my ability to do good on CARS. Not sure if I have the energy to rewrite MCAT for 3rd time to get an even better CARS scores.Therefore, I was wondering if I have a shot at some of the US medical schools. Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendi Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 GPA is great and EC is OK (try to see if you can get shadowing). But that MCAT's going to kill your chances. Study hard and go for the third MCAT if you want to go for USMD. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
