UC: 2.68 (hated it, barely going to class, etc)
CC: 3.9 (quite a well regarded cc though I doubt adcoms care)
4 yr Private: 3.92 (Includes upper div bio electives, biochem, etc)
MCAT: 517 (130/127/130/130) I would be willing to retake because CARS was usually 131-132 on practice tests and I didn't find studying to be too stressful
Volunteering: 100 hrs ED volunteer, 30 hours orthopedics clinic volunteer
Research: 6 months full time in clinical research inNeurology at a top 3 hospital, PI in med school faculty, collecting EEGs and MRIs, recruiting, IRBsubmissions, very well rounded experience
Shadowing: 30hrs shadowing PI in neuro clinic/surgical conferences/OR
I know my ECs are weak, I'm starting at my local ASPCA soon (something I have been DYING to do) and not applying until 2018 cycle. Applying to a few grad schools and to clinical research or jobs.
I'm a CA resident, so my list is mostly there, but open to the northeast as well.
UCs
USC Keck
Boston U
UMass Boston
Tufts
Not really sure what NYC schools, they seem like some are more competitive than MSAR would indicate?
Really want to know how my trend will be viewed by adcoms, especially since I did take orgo/physics at a CC. I would think my MCAT shows that I learned the material.
Thank you!
