Hey guys,
Well application season is coming in a few months and I'd love feedback from anyone and suggestions on where to apply and how competitive my application is.
cGPA: 3.76
sGPA: 3.77 I still have the spring to worry about in terms of grades
MCAT: 32Q
PS=12/BS=12/VR=8
The verbal is what makes me nervous but I'm most likely not going to retake.
EC: Here is where I am servery lacking in
By the Time of Applications I should have:
-1yr of research in the Pharmacology dept.
-1yr of Organic Chemistry Tutoring
-Shadowing
-Volunteer in the ER or Nurse depts.
-ER internship where I try to get patients signed up for drug trials
-Possible internship/job at a Psych hospital working directly with the patients
-I started working this semester and will continue next semester as well
-one or two clubs that I actually participated and helped in
LOR: Again, this will mostly be medicore
I'm trying to make a list of possible people to ask, I'm feeling most will come from my EC's though. My science classes were all large lectures though. I will go through with a committee letter.
My Guess:
I guess my grades are ok but everything else isn't really showing any dedication or anything. I go to an NY state school right now few many people are pre-med. I'm looking primarily at the SUNY Med schools but need help how well I fare and which others I should add. I might also add on a few DO schools and maybe one or two Caribbean.
I'd appreciate any advice and sorry if I might have given anyone a negative impression by this post. Thanks
