Hi everyone,
I tried to search but couldn't find anything.
Integrative Biology UIllinois Champaign-Urbana May 2011 student
Currently 3.4 GPA
3.3 Science GPA (these are both upward trending, hopefully to 3.5, 3.33 respectively by graduation)
For a long time I had considered PA, but after shadowing both MDs and PAs extensively I've decided I would prefer being an MD.
Addititional ECs:
-10 total credit hours research my senior year (hoping to publish, otherwise will be gradding with distinction because of it=~250 hours of lab time)
-1200 hours paid patient contact experience (patient care tech/CNA at hospital)
-300 hours volunteering at hospital and big brothers big sisters
-started registered student org that now has ~50 members that provides health screenings to underpriveledged groups
-solid letters of rec+100 total hours of shadowing time from doctors and PAs
Obviously, I need to take my MCAT, but my standarized tests have always been my 'strongpoint', so I'm aiming for at least a 30 on the MCAT when I do take it (probably April of 2011) after 3-4 months of very intensive studying while continuing research at my lab (biochemical/neurological response to addiction.) My GRE score was a 1320 630Q 690V 5.0 analytical after 3 weeks of studying if comparisons mean anything. I have all As and Bs in prereqs except C's in Calculus and Gen chem I and II (+their labs)
What I Need
A post bacc aimed towards students who want to improve their GPA but don't have an MCAT score yet before applying. I don't want to haphazardly take the MCAT just to gain entry to one of these programs and get some BS score cus I didn't prepare at all. Ideally the program would be in Illinois but I honestly don't care where it is.
Thanks!
Josh
