stats:
rising senior so only 21 years old
top 50 national university, large public one.
41 mcat (P/V/B is 14/13/14)
4.0 GPA
Physics and Chemistry double major
1 year medical research (1 publication 3rd author)
Have been a TA for 4 different classes. About 200 hours total.
Church leader (hundreds of hours here)
200+ hours medical volunteering
40+ hours non medical volunteering
100+ hours shadowing between 2 different doctors
Went on a medical mission trip/fund-raised money for it
Involved with a few different clubs (non leadership)
Have won medals at multiple 5ks in college, run a sub 18:00 5k
Four very good letters of rec I am pretty sure. From professors I have worked with for years.
Very early application. Applied and verified already.
I have only applied to around 15 schools so far, and am considering adding some top 10 schools since I only have 1 so far. However, I feel that the people getting into these top schools not only have the same numbers I do, but are also nontrads who took 4-5 gap years to gain masters/PhD degrees or participate in immense amounts of volunteering or exceptional activities. I am just wondering if a traditional applicant with more or less generic ECs but very good numbers would stand out enough to be considered at schools like these.
