I am getting ready to apply this summer and am just curious about what others think my chances are. My premed advisor isn't very helpful so I honestly don't know where I stand.
-cGPA-3.456 sGPA-3.3 (alot of B's from freshman and some of sophomore year, kicked it in gear and got A's in my chemistry classes and physiology classes)
I'm taking the MCAT next week(05/22/2014)... eekk! I am hoping for a 32 have been getting 3o's and 31's on my latest kaplan practice tests.
-Clinical volunteer activities- 25 hours HIV/STD tester
-Physician shadowing-20 hours Pediatrician (MD)
-65 hours Family physician (DO) Kinda worried about this one because he is my uncle
-Research- Summer research fellowship with a professor (379 hours)
-Nonclinical volunteer activities -100+hours coaching Special Olympics
-25 hours Great Hospital Adventure (went into elementary schools and taught children about doctors and nurses)
-Employment-Worked for Home Depot the summer before college.
Worked for the city of my home town mowing lawns for two summers
Hopefully working for a Special needs group home this summer
-Clinical Experience-20 hours of CNA clinical experience during my CNA certification
The DO schools i'm going to apply to are:
A.T Still University in Arizona
Pacific Northwest University in Washington (has a program for special acceptance for my state)
Western in Oregon and California
Midwestern in Chicago and Arizona
Those are my top choices for DO
I am also going to apply to some MD schools depending on my MCAT- worried my GPA is a little low for MD
