Ok! The only reason I feel I might have a shot at MD is because I belong to a hyperunder- represented group in the US. I may be classified as Asian (but I am not Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Korean etc) and belong to a ethnically minority group. Actually we only started arriving in the US as refugees about 5 years ago and there is a small community in US currently (though I have been here for about 7 years). There are maybe a total of 5 doctors from our community here in the US. So I am pretty sure I will be classified as as URM. My cumulative GPA is about 3.75. However, my MCAT score is only 23.( 5VR, 9PS,9BS). I came to the US when I was about 19 and finished my undergrad here. I have applied to about 20 MD schools (about 10 of which accept scores as low as 24-26). I am pretty sure I may have some chance at DO schools. But please let me know what are my chances at MD schools. English is my second language. I have volunteered at several places including hospitals, community events etc (400 hours). I have also worked at a lab and currently am working as a medical interpreter. Basically, I have been working full-time for about two years now.
