Hi guys, I am strongly interested in enrolling at either Sackler, Technion or BGU (with a slight inclination towards Sackler). I didn't join the pre-med track until well into my junior year and consequently, I wasn't initially quite as gung ho about getting great grades as most pre-meds are. My GPA is 3.25 (from a school known for grade deflation) and MCAT score of 30S. I have extensive clinical and laboratory research experience, and, in addition, have been volunteering for the past three years in different capacities. This past year, I actually went to Israel to work as a medic there and to work with the elderly. I know that because of my grades, I am likely going to have to take a Georgetown-type program, but I was wondering if any of you, speaking from experience, think that I have any chance for admission? Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, what year did you apply? Are you at Sackler now? Do you enjoy it? What are your impressions of the program?
