Worth applying this cycle if all my clinical hours are projected over the next 1 year?
I was hoping to apply this cycle, but I only got a clinical job this past month. By the time May 28 comes around, I'll only have about 15 clinical hours. However, my projected hours is ~2000 hours for the next 1 year.
My MCAT is 517 (513 first attempt), cGPA is 3.87, and sGPA is ~3.5-3.6. I have ~300h volunteering, 25h shadowing, and ~2000h research (with 1 mid-author publication, another mid-author pending, and 1 first-author publication to be submit within the next couple weeks; I also have 2 poster presentations). Went to a t20 undergrad, originally from Ohio with ties to Michigan. ORM south asian male
However, a good portion of my research hours do come from human clinical research if that means anything
I do have the extenuating circumstance of suffering a severe injury in fall 2023. I had surgery in Feb 2024 and had to do PT until the fall of 2024. I had to withdraw from my CNA training as a result.
I already got my LORs and personal statement ready and really don't want to wait another year to apply so I'm hoping to get some advice. My goal is just to make it into any MD school
