Hey guys,
Before you start reading, let me express my thanks.
Im going to be a reapplicant this year and so was hoping I could get some help on my school list. CA resident, graduating from SJSU Biomedical engineering
Academics/MCAT
cGPA: 3.95 sGPA: 3.90
MCAT: 30 (11/9/10)
Extracurriculars:
Extensive research: Roughly 400 hours of research that culminated into a large presentation of my findings at a school/industry sponspored event (no pubs unfortunately)
Worked at a biomedical company for about a month (short term opportunity). Also worked at a tech company as an intern
Active member in a variety of clubs and community organizations on/off my campus (about 6)
Volunteer at a Hospital (last app cycle was only 150 hours, added another 200 since then) 350 hours
Shadowed a doctor for about 100 hours
Changed my PS statement (focused more on elements of my medical experiences than my old PS which was resumiesh)
Also worked on making my experience descritpitions more personal and added on an additional two experiences/continued some experiences that I had stopped doing due to school constraints.
Schools Im considering for this year:
Albany (applied last cycle=alc)
Boston University
Central Michigan University
Cooper Medical School (alc)
Creighton (alc)
Drexel University
Georgetown university (alc)
Loyola
Temple
Jefferson
Rosy Franklin (alc)
NY medical (alc)
Oakland University (alc)
Pennsylvania state (alc)
MCW (alc)
Rush (alc)
St. Louis
Commonwealth medical (alc)
Tufts
Western Michigan (alc)
University of Hawaii
reach:
UC Davis (alc)
UCSF (probably major reach but i love the program so going for it, alc)
never applied but dream (taking a shot):
Stanford
Cornell (have a professor who came from a reputable group within the university who wrote me a letter so hoping that might help, im certain its a strong letter.)
I'd really like some help with my major school list, which do you think i should cut out or which schools do u think i should add in? Also I've heard about the SUNY schools should I consider adding one or two of them?
Thanks!
