Hey guys, I'm looking for school suggestions, I've got low grades and MCAT with good extracurriculars.
Here's the quick and dirty:
Oregon Resident
MCAT 27: 8P/12V/7B
GPA 3.3 total, 3.4 science, Exercise science major at top 50 liberal arts school.
Shadow hours: 150 with a mix of rural, ICU and outpatient pulmonology
Patient contact hours: 1500+ (working in clinical research and practicing as an EMT)
Clinical research hours: 2000+ (going on 4.5 years of experience working in clinical research as both PI and assistant)
Volunteer hours: 1000+ (mix of community service and firefighting)
Peer reviewed publications: 5 total (4 as first author) all in MD reviewed journals best one was Annals of Emergency medicine.
Presentations: 10 with several at national society meetings like DFcon and ACSM
Jobs: Lots of clinical research leadership positions, medic on a wildland fire squad + odd jobs.
Leadership positions in clubs and fraternity throughout college, 2 years as a volunteer firefighter/EMT in my small town.
Good recommendations so far from 3 profs, 2 docs and my fire captain, all who know me well.
I'm particularly interested in programs good for rural family practice and emergency medicine.
