I know my numbers arent incredibly impressive. 28 MCAT, 3.3 GPA, but I have over a year of research experience, and I also worked in a doctor's office. I've also got quite a bit of community service.
I also included that I hope to do the military's HPSP...maybe it'll make me seem more diverse? (I actually plan to do it...not just trying to say that do gain admission)
I've applied to 19 US MD schools (only the ones I thought I might have a chance in) and 2 DO schools. They said they'd start letting people know about their interview statuses starting October 15th...and I haven't heard anything yet. I'm getting pretty worried.
Now I'm considering Caribbean schools. I've heard that 25% of Caribbean students can't even get a SINGLE residency. That's a scary thought to go through school and not be able to do a residency at all.
I guess my question is...WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? Do I have a shot?
Or should I just say eff it and try to find a job as a corporate slave somewhere....
