I'm scared and nervous. I come from a family full of doctors-the pressure is ridiculous. Do you think schools look at the fact that I had family graduate from their med schools and give me a chance even if my stats are super low? My entire family went to UW-Madision in Wisconsin.
Stats:
Senior Microbiology Major
GPA: 3.0
planning to take the MCAT this upcoming year.
EC:
work as a first responder/EMT on campus-part of the first group.
shadowed: ER Doctor, OBGYN, Internal Medicine Physician
volunteered at hospital
played ultimate frisbee at my college for two years
member of AMSA for 4 years
I am already taking a year off and planning to get a job as an EMT-its hard to get a job as an EMT and if that doesnt work out-what should I do? I do plan to apply this upcoming cycle, but should i wait one more year? I also don't want to wait too long. I am only going to be applying to MD schools.
I have some good letter of recs coming in, but is there anything else I can do? I dont know if I can bring up my GPA anymore. Thank you, let me know if you need anymore details. I'm so nervous and frustrated.
