A little bit about myself. I went to a top 15 school known for grade deflation. Psych major.
sGPA: 3.49, cGPA: 3.5
MCATS: V: 8, PS: 12, BS: 12, W: S
Some more about me.
22 yr old Asian, CA resident (didn't go to Cali undergrad school)
Academics:
Research on psychology: 2 years (~700 hrs), 1 publication (mix of paid/research for credit)
Shadowed physicians in psychiatry department (one of them was my PI, who wrote me a strong letter of rec): 3 years (~180 hrs)
Extracurriculars:
Tutored kids with learning disabilities: 3 years (~300 hrs)
Volunteer at housing project for HIV+ residents: 1 semester (~60 hrs) - discontinued due to issues with transportation.
Leadership:
Treasurer/President - Group for tutoring kids with learning disabilities
Treasurer/Secretary - AIDS Awareness group
I would like to stay in Cali. I'm applying broadly to 26 schools. What would be my chances for the UCs and USC? I'm worried about the 8 in verbal. Thanks!
