<p>what do you think my chances are? please be honest, i don’t want to put hope in something that i have no chance in</p>

<p>Honestly, please try to get someone with a different last name than yours to give you an LOR for your hospital volunteering. </p>

<p>Your stats look fine. You have a pretty good chance. What are your SAT II scores though?</p>

3

<p>Try to get some medical experiences at the hospital(or elsewhere) that are not with your Dad for a different perspective and perhaps a LOR.</p>

4

<p>Hey, what does LOR stand for? Everyone in this thread is using it.</p>

5

<p>letter of recommendation</p>

6

<p>Agreed. God chances though</p>

7

<p>OP, What is your state of residence?
I would advise you to apply to a handful of combined med programs.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, I agree while ok, your contribution at your Dad’s hospital and your volunteering experience, shouldn’t be the crux of your CV, when it comes to medical experiences. You need to do it in different things OUTSIDE of your Dad’s realm.</p>

9

<p>Dad’s friends maybe?</p>

10

<p>Anyone else would be fine.</p>

11

<p>Yes, ANYONE but immediate family.</p>
