Hello,
I'm having trouble making up a list of schools to apply to. I'd really appreciate your help.
White female from CA
cGPA: 3.84
sGPA: 3.75
MCAT: 31P (12 VR/8 PS/11 BS)
LOR: 4 strong (from science prof, English prof, director of honors program, and my research PI), 1 okay (from science prof)
- job-shadowed ER docs and a PA for 100 hours
- clinical internship at endoscopy clinic for 40 hours
- volunteered at public health center based on AIDS education and patient advocacy for 150 hours
- currently interning at a medical research clinic under a cardiologist, frequently get to observe his procedures, might be getting a paid research assistant position in near future
- co-author of a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology
- co-author of an abstract published in Circulation
- summa cum laude (does that really mean anything? I haven't heard anybody else mention it here)
- undergraduate free-ride scholarship to a big UC
- honors program member (2 years)
- American Sign Language Club co-founder and officer (2 years)
- club for people who have this specific scholarship that does a lot of community service (4 years)
So far, I've got:
UCD
UCI
UCLA
UCSD
UCR
UCSF
Oregon Health and Science
Rush
I know that most of the CA publics are a stretch, so I'm making them my reach schools. Any schools in or below my range that you can recommend would be greatly appreciated!
