I think my EC's are strong and diverse..let me know what you think though.
-100 hours shadowing
-100+ hospital volunteering (I know, not as high but have other committed experiences too)
-4 yrs in filipino student association (2 yrs on eboard)
-medical brigade to ghana, accepted on Nicaragua brigade for winter 2014.
-2 yrs tutoring disadvantanged youth
-1 yr research--no pubs.
-volunteer at free health clinic for 1 yr
-bio lab TA for 1 yr (would've continued, but schedule conflicts)
-playing cello is my hobby--played at many different occasions/going to london/paris in a week to play with orchestra.
School List (so far):
UIC
Loyola
Rush
Rosalind-Franklin
SIU
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Two out of reach schools...but my MCAT lies within the range, so I figured why not!:
Case Western
Boston University
What do you guys think? I'm disappointed in my MCAT score because I was scoring higher in practice tests, but I don't want to retake and have the score drop...I have test anxiety. I really felt I could maybe attend some really good mid-tier/maybe a few top-tier schools..but my MCAT score kinda depressed me. Are there any other schools I should consider? Please let me know.
Thank-you!
