Hi Everyone,
I was hoping that I may get some advice from you guys. I am a Utah resident. I submitted my AMCAS application at the beginning of July so I should be verified soon and need to pick more schools to apply for. I have never spoken with a premedical advisor so I am really nervous about submitting (my campus does not have an advisor).
Research:
-1.5 years research in a synthetic organic chemistry research lab designing anti-cancer medications (I will continue working there until I *hopefully* move for medical school)
-I received two separate research grants for a total of $3000
-2 poster and 1 oral presentation
-I was recently awarded "Undergraduate Researcher of the Year" at my university (I believe I will receive a scholarship for this)
-My PI just submitted a manuscript to the Journal of Chemical Education and I am listed as the second author
Clinical Work/volunteer/shadow:
-Worked as a CNA for 8 months on an Alzheimer's wing (about 40hrs/week)
-Worked as an LPN for 1.5 years- after working for a while, I was able to work as a charge nurse
-Volunteer at my local hospital (100 hours)
-70 hours (total) shadowing general surgeon, family practice, OB, neonatologist, peds
Leadership:
-Served for 3 years in the Army as a nuclear, biological and chemical warfare specialist (no oversea tours)
-Student body government campus representative
-Co-founded and first president of first chemistry club
I am sorry that was incredibly long. There are a few other miscellaneous things that I have done, but this is the bulk of what was submitted on my AMCAS app. Also I applied as disadvantaged (grew up on welfare, SSI- Caucasian female).
Thus far I have only applied to Baylor and the University of Utah-I know that I have almost no chance of being accepted to Baylor, but it is my dream school. Can anybody tell me other MD schools that I may be competitive at? I apologize in advance for any spelling or grammar errors. Thanks again for all of your help!!
