Asian, CA Resident, UC Berkeley
GPA and sGPA: 3.96 (molec bio major)
MCAT: 40 (14PS, 11VR, 15BS)
ECs:
~2000 hrs of basic research over 2 years: Honors thesis, speaker at 2 symposiums, SURF Fellow
~150 hours of ER volunteering over 1 year
~150 hours of hospital gift shop volunteering over 1 year
2 semesters of Bio TAing (~7 hrs a week)
Tutoring (~1 to 2 hrs a week)
Hope to get a little shadowing in and submit my app w/n the first two weeks of June.
School list as of now:
In-state: UCSD, UCI, UC Riverside, UCLA, USC, UCSF, UCD, Stanford
Out-of-state: Yale (probably not, chances too low/don't like New Haven), U Chicago, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins (probably not, chances too low/not a fan of Baltimore), Harvard (probably not, chances too low), Boston U, Tufts, U Michigan, Columbia, NYU, Mt Sinai, U Penn, Pitts
Would like input on some OOS safety schools I could add, as my list seems top heavy, and my ECs are a bit lacking.
