Hey guys,
I am planning to apply this upcoming cycle and I do not have any clinical volunteering. I do have some shadowing, and am planning to get a lot more shadowing this summer before I submit my apps. Here's the rest of my app:
Junior, going to be incoming senior
Double majoring in Neuroscience & Cognitive Science, Human Anatomy and Physiology; double minoring in Chemistry, Spanish
3.87GPA, taking MCATs on the 17th of May (hopefully 30+)
4 years of research: includes 2 poster presentations, 1 publication of gene sequence on NCBI database
Triathlon club for 2 years (will be three next year) -- nearly 15 hours a week
Ballroom dance club for 2 years -- nearly 5 hours a week
1 year in the fencing club -- 6 hours a week
3 years of tutoring -- both as volunteer for the first two years, and this last year for pay: tutoring math up to calculus, chemistry, physics -- maybe 2 hours a week for ~30 weeks a year
3 years of transcribing TED talks into spanish subtitles -- an hour a week for ~20 weeks a year
1 year volunteering at the Poetry Center at my university -- about 2 hours a week for 30 weeks a year
8 hours of shadowing a physician (I'm planning on getting at least 40 more this summer)
Working on a book of poetry right now which I will either talk about in my personal statement or in my interviews.
