Hello everyone,
I'm taking one year off and planning on applying in the 2016 cycle. My goal is to get into an MD school (not really considering DO). Moreover, I want to make my application cycle relatively safe and avoid having to reapply.
CA resident (one of the top UCs), ORM
Stats: 3.92 cGPA, 3.94 sGPA, 32 MCAT (12/9/11)
EC:
-Research influenza (400+ hrs): 1 poster
-Lab assistant (100hrs)
-Shadowing cardiologist/anesthesiologist/geriatrician (40hrs)
-Tutored college athletes (350hrs)
-Tutored disadvantaged/minorities undergrads (250hrs)
-Homeless medical clinic volunteer (200hrs)
-Dental clinic volunteer (40hrs): back when i was pre-dent lol
-Hospital escorter/greeter (40hrs)
-Special olympics coach (100hrs)
-Medical volunteer at Honduras medical trip (20hrs)
-Low income clinic volunteer (200hrs)
I'm planning on applying to roughly ~40 MD schools. I was able to browse through a friend's MSAR to get a sense of the schools. As of now, my list can definitely be cut down. Any suggestions/feedback on my match/reach list is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
