Hi everyone! So I'm getting read to apply for the cycle and wanted input from someone who knows the process if I am ready to apply.
State of residence: NY
cGPA/sGPA: 3.70/3.68
MCAT: 513
Extracurriculars:
Clinical- NYU clinical experience internship (140 hrs), volunteer around hospital (150 hrs), and EMT experience volunteering in ambulance corps.
Non-clinical - habitat for humanity (100 hours) + various fundraising and community service with fraternity
Leadership - Orgo 1 and 2 TA, TA for a leadership and service class, leadership position in fraternity, and other minor leadership roles in my school.
Hobbies - I love to make content review chemistry videos for students enrolled in gen chem. I get paid for these videos and access to watch these videos is given to all those who are in the course.
Research - Just some research in chemistry, no pubs - 150 hrs
Shadowing - various specialties - 50 hrs
Decent LORs from professors I've worked with.
Could someone please tell me if I am ready to apply? I am not sure if I should take a gap year.. I'm slightly worried about my gpa since my advisor told me it's a little low for NY schools. Also, anything I can do to improve my application?
Thanks!
