I am planning on applying for the 2015 cycle. My story is that I had a rough first couple of years in college, so I am trying to improve my application in other ways. I am currently working on a Master's in a medicine-related major at one of my state's public universities (4.0 gpa after one semester). Here's my basic info:
Major: B.A. in Neuroscience from top-20 private university
cGPA/sGPA: 3.31/3.10
MCAT: 33 (12B/11P/10V)
State of residence: AZ
EC's in college:
-100 volunteer hours as a tutor
-50 volunteer hours at homeless shelter (clinical setting)
-1 year research at my university's medical school (one abstract)
-2 summers research internships
-1 semester teaching assistant
Current activities:
-Working in lab 30 hrs/week (working towards a publication)
-Volunteering at a clinic (~50 hours so far)
-Shadowing family doctor (~40 hours)
So how screwed am I? Here's a tentative list of schools I'm applying to. Any others I should add?
