Hi all,
Looking to get some feedback regarding my application to both MD and DO programs.
Undergrad: Oregon State University
Majors: Zoology and International Studies
cGPA=3.55
BCPM=3.46
No Cs in any coursework, just a number of Bs. GPA by year from freshmen to senior is 3.35, 3.59, 3.4, and 3.88. Science GPA trend is 3.22, 3.65, 3.3, and 3.9.
MCAT=29S, P=12, V=8, B=9
Shadowing: all MD, but 100 hours with an Orthopedic surgeon, 80 hours with a plastic surgeon, 50 hours with an internist, and 20 hours with a cardiologist
Health care: EMT-Basic since 2007, volunteered with local Fire Department as EMS provider for 14 months. Also, I volunteered at a local free clinic for 2 years as a medical assistant. Performed patient Hx, vitals, ECGs, and PPD administration. Also, helped with clerical functions of organizing patient charts, confirming lab orders, checking patients in, etc.
Research: 1 year as a student researcher. Study focused on on two projects. First, inoculating live eukaryotic cells with various proteins produced by Mycobacterium Avium to figure out which proteins, and at what concentrations, prevent the acidification process of phagosomes. I worked with live cell cultures and practiced aseptic technique in conducting this study. The second project involved PCR and gel purification to sequence the genome of various genomic DNA strands for a graduate student. Genomic mapping using the NCBI database was used to try and create tests for detecting various forms of E.coli, specifically E.coli CFT073, using PCR and gel electrophoresis.
Work: CPR Instructor, Emergency Response for OSU Club Sporting Events, and Emergency Preparation Supervisor for The Department of Recreational Sports for 2 years. Currently working for a dermatology practice as a medical assistant.
MISC: Undergraduate Thesis regarding health care system structure and human rights. I conducted this study as part of my Bachelor's in International Studies. Fluent in Italian language.
LOR: 9 total from the following: Chemistry professor, Physiology professor, Evolution Professor, Coordinator of Free Clinic, Thesis Advisor, Coordinator at Recreational Sports, EMS Officer at Fire Department, Coordinator of Research Lab, and a MD.
Thanks in advance.
