You would have a very difficult uphill battle trying to get into med school next year.

Most med students have been building their community medicine resumes throughout their undergrad, via volunteering in clinical, low SES settings.

Many med students take a year off to study for the MCAT’s while saving monies from their jobs and volunteering in their communities.

Since many, if not all, of the people applying to med school have exceptional grades and EC’s, they would all qualify for any merit-based scholarships. The schools cannot afford to fund every med student.

If they aren’t funded by the Bank of Mom and Dad, many med students take out massive loans.

@WayOutWestMom has two daughters who are physicians. She could give you further information on your chances.
