Brief Profile:
I\'m keeping the GPAs vague for a reason. :) I\'ll just say it\'s been a very long road. My GPA from undergrad is low, but graduate and post-bac GPAs are fine.
I have a lot of health care experience and hundreds of volunteer hours.
I also have some public health research, but no hard science bench research experience.

Summary of Application Experience
I submitted my primary pretty late and am a little disappointed about that. I had a lot of trouble nailing down my personal statement. That also pushed my secondaries out too.
Hopeful Helen took the old MCAT and scored a 32 which is in the 88th percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 513 on the updated scale which is in the 89th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted Hopeful Helen’s section scores as follows:
