My mcat score was 11/11/11 so its pretty balanced.
I go to SUNY Binghamton, neuroscience major.
Shadowed M.D oncologist (50 hours), D.O oncologist(50 Hours), local pediatrician(30 hours), and a surgeon(it was only two surgeries, 6 hours)
I have done research at a top 15 cancer center for the past 3 summers, no publications but the team I've been working with have had success with our projects, the treatment options are currently in clinical trials.
I am apart of a student run volunteering club that takes underprivileged children from the local area on field trips on the weekends, also apart of UNICEF (both on campus clubs)
On the club soccer team.
My gpa after freshman year was a 2.75. Ive taken summer classes and winter classes, and haven't gotten lower than a 3.75 since my first year. Im currently a junior.
My school list so far is
Albany
NYMC
Upstate
Downstate
Stony Brook
Buffalo
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Netter
PCOM
NYCOM
LECOM
Do i have decent chances at these schools, are there schools that I should add or take away from this list? And how bad will my freshman gpa hurt me? A 3.59 is not impressive, but had it not been for freshman year I would have a 3.92. (I understand, I'm not the only one who had a tough time freshman year).
Also, is it something that I would have to explain. The truth is I wanted to be an econ neuro double major and it just backfired. I also had a close relative going through health issues but I'm reluctant of mentioning that.
