Howdy folks; Texas native here
I am applying this cycle for medical school (did not realize that Texas schools open their applications May 1, but I plan to submit the first week of June). Non traditional student; I graduated with my BS in bio/pre med in Dec of 2009. I will apply to all Tx schools, NM, and a few others across the nation.
GPA- suffered a bit in my later years, but I finished with a 3.2
MCAT- 26
Observation- Numerous of hours, that I would need to quantify for the applications, shadowing General sx, Anesthesiolgists, and day sx center setting
EC- 4yrs of football during college and all of the community service involved with the program, e.g. close interaction with youths. Pursued the NFL/CFL upon graduating college for 2 years(played arena football for those yrs). Went into coaching and the fitness industry for a year after my footballl pursuit ended.
Other/Currently- I felt I needed to enhance my application and show my commitment to wanting to become a physician. I am currently lead scribe for a hospital here in the Land of enchantment (NM). I moved here just for this wonderful opportunity to work alongside ER physicians (2 MD's are writing me LOR including the medical director for my hospital). I would recommend a scribe program for anyone who wants to be exposed to how the ER dept flows! (I have hired 5 people who were accepted to Med school for 2014)
Btw, I am an URM (Black male); and I am looking forward to every step of this process! Where do you think I stand, honestly?
