mymeddream Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi everyone, I have now started to look at options for applying to american schools. Here are my stats: cGPA (AMCAS) = 3.69 with a strong upward trend MCAT - writing this summer EC's: 3 years research, 1 year IT job, 1 year fast food job, 1 year hospital volunteering, 3 years of active member in a school club, one small published paper, 1 published abstract and 1 oral presentation at a research conference.....and few other things here and there. Note: I did all the prerequisites except organic chemistry and english....I am assuming that I would have to go back to take those courses.....not sure what to do about this at this point though (debating whether to take these courses or not etc etc). So, I guess my question has two parts: 1. Do I have a chance at US schools (MD schools, not DO)? 2. If so, what schools should I apply to? Thanks!

deathvvv Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 GPA looks decent Aim for MCAT > 33 and you should be able to get into most US schools you apply to (except iveys) But with those strong last 2 years GPA, you should aim for Canadian schools that have grade forgiveness policies (Queens and Western) comes into mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be applying to Canadian schools as well but would to apply broadly...so a mix of Canadian and American schools is what I am aiming for. Any other input from others on this forum? Thanks!
