Update on my information:
Science GPA 3.18
CGPA 3.28
MCAT ( did worse than on practice..:/) PS13 VR8 BS 14= 35
1) research experience:
1.5 yrs undergraduate research (one semester research course with A grade) the rest as a volunteer
2) volunteering: 100 hours volunteer at the hospital (50 hours at Post Anesthesia Care Unit and 50 hours in a Cardio Thoracic research lab)
3) community service: 2yrs active member of community outreach club (participate in health fairs 3 per yr so 6 total
4) leadership: Trained/ taught many many undergraduate students in the lab (assays and lab techniques) that I work as a technician (I am not sure if this is considered a leadership position maybe not..?)
5) non-medical community service: so I tutored 2 elementary school kids and one high school student for no pay because they were immigrants in low income families and I wanted to help them with school stuff. Should I even mention this in the application?..
6) shadowing: shadowed a opthalmologist (my interest
) 100 hrs
also shadowed a DO ( who practices OMM !)
7) I have a great letter from the MD , DO, one basic science professor, one from my research professor, one from my employer (Professor/PI/big)
I also know two science professors from my school that I can get letters from. They know me personally because we work in the same lab but I never took their classes or anything. Should I get letters from them?..They actually offered to write letters for me.
8) 1 paper in process -2nd author
I think my EC's are weak, my gpa is on the ground level, MCAT is average
I made a quick list based on my Lizzy M score.
Does this list look reasonable?
***I am also going to apply to 15 DO schools. I am still doing
some research to make a list of schools.
Any comment/opinion and advice will be appreciated
