I have a GPA that is slightly under a 3.0. My science GPA is around a 2.5.
I have graduated already, but I'm working on a DIY post bacc with upper level science classes and retaking classes that I didn't do so hot in.
I'm aware I'm going to be competing with students who are really strong academically. I was wondering if there is any way for me to make myself stand out.
I know research is a common thing admissions look for, and I have worked in an animal research lab for about 2.5 years. I'm also doing clinical research currently. I don't have any publications though.
I was involved in several clubs as an undergrad. I worked with UNICEF, I was president of a healthcare and social justice oriented club, and I facilitated social justice dialogues for a conference. I did volunteer at a hospice for some time but not as long as I would have liked.
I am hoping to begin a nursing assistant job in the fall for clinical experience and I will also shadow more physicians- I don't have too much of that experience right now.
Is there anything I can do to make myself stand out so I can get accepted at some point?
