Hi all,
Just found out I will need to reapply next cycle. Not sure what I should do. Any feedback would help.
Oregon resident.
Received an II from a UC and OHSU, but eventually did not get in.
MD Shadowing- 60 hours
Clinical Volunteer (direct patient care)- 500 hours
Paid work-400
Research- 600, received a UC grant for a research project, presented a poster, also was a leader of multiple projects
Division I athletics- 6000, state finalists + many athlete-scholar awards
I would like to know if I should:
Option: 1. Reapply and include my work experiences from this year. Working in the clinic at a major university hospital. I also took some classes at the local cc so my GPA will be a 3.42.
Option 2: Wait a year then reapply. Take more classes to boost GPA, realistically, it would probably go up to a 3.50. I'm working full time so I would be difficult to take more than 2 classes per quarter.
My question is, is it worth it to wait a whole year just to get .1 higher GPA?
Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!
