Hello everyone,
I just wanted to get others' opinions about whether or not I'd be a good candidate for MD programs. I'm looking into Rochester (Reach/dream), SUNY upstate, SUNY downstate, and possibly a few in Ireland. I go to SUNY Buffalo (NY resident too) and I'm a psych major with a minor in urban planning and biology. I have a 3.85 (overall, most of which were in engineering class. I recently just switched), but it's going to go down this semester because I'm looking at getting two C's in classes. I've constantly worked 20+ hours/week while in school (full time during breaks), have over ~200 hours in volunteering/shadowing, and apart of a few different honor societies. My main concern/worry is my low GPA this semester. I know they look at cumulative more than anything, but I just wanted to seek some advice. Also, I know not having MCAT scores yet makes it a tough call, but I just really want to get some people's opinions. Thanks so much.
