Summary of Application Experience
Pretty much wanted to go to school in California or New York because I love those two states. I was worried about my low GPA (especially 2 C\'s in science classes!!!) but it turned out med schools are interested in more than just GPA (shock!). Also, I think my high biology mcat score helped out when ad coms looked at those 2 C\'s in bio courses.
I did 3 years of evolutionary research (not clinical, no papers or publications), volunteered at a homeless shelter for 2 years, volunteered at Oakland Children\'s Hospital for 2 years, and was an undergraduate student instructor for a year.
Feel free to ask me any questions! I am here to help :)
Summary of Experience:
The guy interviewing me was about 80 years old and fell asleep during the interview. The interview experience/day as a whole was not overwhelming, to put it mildly :) This was the only place i interviewed at and wasn\'t accepted.

We converted this to a 517 on the updated scale which is in the 95th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted ucsdgoldenbear’s section scores as follows:
ucsdgoldenbear scored a 13 on the Biological Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 130 on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems.
ucsdgoldenbear scored a 11 on the Physical Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 128 on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems.
ucsdgoldenbear scored a 11 on the Verbal Reasoning section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 129 on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
