Hi all,

I've been working as a carpenter for the last couple of years and do not have much experience in a hospital (besides 50 hours of volunteering)

3.3 GPA (strong upward trend: 2.7 freshman, 3.0 sophomore, 3.6 junior, 3.7 senior)

34 MCAT (top 8%)

average EC's (microbiology TA, volunteered as a tutor, helped out in a wheelchair basketball league and in a hospital, worked as a summer basketball coach)

Thanks!

You have very good chances! You are lacking just a little in your GPA, but they like the upward trend of showing you became a more dedicated, serious student throughout your years of study (that was specifically mentioned at the interviews I have been to). Your MCAT score is fantastic. I would make sure a write the schools and emphasize the upward trend of your GPA, saying you became a stronger student as you got older. It seems like you have a really good chance. Have you applied yet?

I remember you asking this question in June. If you have a 34 MCAT you should be pretty competitive. Have you heard from any schools yet?
