This is my first time posting. I typically lurked and just read other people's posts to get ideas, but I thought I would post for myself.
I am a Florida resident applying to both MD and DO programs. I got a 27 on my MCAT (7 Verbal, 10 BS, 10 PS). My sGPA was low my freshman fall semester, but has had an upward trend every semester after that. My aoGPA has consistently been around a 3.95 (not sure if this even matters). I am not URM. I have had a fair amount of research, shadowing, and extracurricular activities that I have been involved with listed below and I also listed the schools that I have applied.
Extracurriculars:
- Volunteered for 250 hours in the local hospital by working in the psychiatry in-patient, working with patient service technicians in the operating room, and working with anesthesia technicians.
- Volunteered in the local community through a service fraternity for over 400 hours for the past 3 years. I served as a director in the organization for 3 semesters and will be serving as the chapter president for the next year.
- Volunteering in a free clinic for over 200 hours serving to triage patients and scribe for physicians for over 1 year now. I currently manage one of the clinic locations once and week and coordinate the volunteers and staff that work there.
- Volunteered in a nutrition research lab and worked on 3 human clinical trails for a little over a year.
- Worked in an epidemiology research lab investigating the incidence of cancer in the HIV+ population for 4 months.
- Currently work in an entomology research lab for the past 6 months on radiation experiments on cabbage loopers, cold tolerance of fruit flies, and managing their populations of fruit flies.
- Was a TA for two non-science courses for 4 semesters.
- Went on a medical mission trip between my freshman and sophomore year to Nicaragua.
- Shadowed a general surgeon (25 hours), internal medicine doctor (17 hours), and a pediatric doctor (54 hours).
- Currently provide free tutoring services to a middle school child whose father I volunteered with in the hospital.
