Hey guys!!
I'm an Asian American female, currently in a combination program for Masters of Engineering in BME and a B.S. in Biological Engineering. I will be graduating from undergrad in December.
Undergraduate GPA: 3.83 BCPM GPA, 3.62 overall (2 C's and a C+), 29 MCAT (9/10/10). I'm pretty disappointed with my MCAT scores ;( but I'm not a good test taker even though that's no excuse.
ECS:
- ~100 hours Tutoring math for kids with disabilities
- 300+ hours Mathematics tutor for college students
- ~100 hours English Language and Composition tutor for ESL students
- 300+ hours in Alzheimer's lab lab
- 200+ hours Shadowing in operating room/clinic with various physicians (plastics, orthopedics, gastroenterology, cardiology, otolaryngology, etc.)
- 700+ hours clinical human subject research in operating room, publication pending.
- Master's project on theorizing mechanism of anesthetic drug action on pulmonary system
- 10000+ hours of piano performance/community service/volunteering (starting in 2000 but still continuing to this day)
School List:
Johns Hopkins
Cornell
Vanderbilt
Tufts
GW
Georgetown
UMaryland
UMichigan
Baylor
Wake Forest
Albert Einstein
Icahn at Mt. Sinai
UPenn
Pittsburgh
Boston
LORs: I hope they're good! I have a committee letter, a lab professor letter, a letter from my research mentor, and from my boss at my job.
I've already submitted my application and all secondaries except Wake Forest and Vanderbilt...but I just want to know how much of a chance I have? Another thing about me is that I'm 6 years younger than the average age of starting medical school...I'm not sure if this helps or hurts me! I've registered to retake the MCATs in January depending on what happens in the next 3-4 months. Any advice or input is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
