Ok guys, applying next cycle and I'm curious about what kinds of schools I should be looking to apply to.
Currently I have a 3.6 cGPA and a 3.5 sGPA with a 36R MCAT (14P/11V/11B). I'm a philosophy and neuroscience dual major at UMich (in-state resident), and I may take the honors route with philosophy and write an honors thesis. I've been a member of my schools club rugby team for going on three years now (started as a freshman, huge time commitment, raised $1500 for the team, helped the team to a national play-off birth last year, in the running to be captain/president next year), co-founder of a student political organization, currently participating in research with the dept. of anesthesiology here, and a current hospital volunteer for several hours a week.
As far as clinical experience goes I have 40 hours shadowing in the ER, 36 hours shadowing in chronic wound care, and 160 hours volunteering in an endoscopy clinic (have some training as a tech and have worked as one on several procedures, and will hopefully go back to work here over christmas/summer). I'm currently hoping to bring my GPA up to a 3.7 before applying, and I'm a little concerned about my extra-currics (I am dedicated to what I have, but I see a lot of people on here with 1000000000 different things and wonder where people find the time...).
I'm just curious about where I can start looking into as far as places I may want to go (that may actually want me to go there!). Thanks for any help!
