cGPA: 3.56
sGPA: 3.35
MCAT: 502 (125/126/125/126)
NJ resident
White female
Rutgers University, New Brunswick
Clinical: 300 hours in a drug and alcohol rehab facility
Research: 500 hours (no pubs/posters)
Shadowing: 50 hours addiction medicine, 25 hours internal medicine
Non-clinical: 1000 hours food bank
Extracurriculars (non-school related): I am a 39 y/o - so i worked for 12 years as a hairstylist before I returned to school. Hiking, traveling, played in a touring folk band in my 20's
Extracurriculars (school related): president of a recovery organization at school, involved in a student run safe drinking campaign at school, member of alcohol and other drugs committee
- As you can see- almost my entire application is centered around addiction/those who suffer from substance use disorder. I am hoping this comes off an cohesive and passionate.
School List: I am an NJ resident, and we have several MD programs- should I even bother applying with that gpa/MCAT combo?
I will mostly focus my time on DO.
-And my husband and I have discussed this at length and we are willing to move, and can afford to apply to roughly 30-35 schools. I also know that some of these programs have more than one location, which is fine as well. Just not sure if those are separate on the AACOMAS app(clearly a first gen doctor here- no one in my family is of any help with this)
