<p>UCLA -> Albany Med c/o 2015 here (1st year), so I can pop in for a bit to help with the load of questions. </p>
<p>For the age disparity question that GotLactose had: I’m 21 right now. There’s another UCLA kid in my class who is 20 years old. I have a friend who’s at Mayo Clinic who is 20 and has a M.S. already. Age doesn’t matter as much as what you’ve accomplished in that time - work hard, get those grades, and distinguish yourself by pursing extracurriculars that you love doing rather than ones that you feel “forced” to do just because you’re pre-med. </p>
<p>Asking for individual science and cum GPA doesn’t really matter - it’s on an individual basis, and the best thing you can do is see how you compare to the average matriculant (look at AAMC data sheets) instead of comparing yourself to a sample population of n=1. On that note, my stats were similar to shenaniganz: 3.6+ GPA and 32 MCAT.</p>
