Thank you ahead of time! While my grades might be below average, my EC experience may (probably not) be a selling point. Interested in MD/DO and will be taking a Gap year. I am also talking with a Navy recruiter to hopefully do HPSP to help pay for medical school (and a few other reasons).
1. 3.5 cGPA and 3.3 sGPA
2. 508; CHE 128, CARS 128, BIO 128, Psych 124
3. Texas (resident)
4. Hispanic
5. Private University
6. Clinical Experience: EMT 1000+ hours 911 Ambulance work; Volunteer Firefighter/EMT ~500 hours
7. Research: Cancer Research lab. Semi-independent synthesis work for ADCs and antineoplastic molecules
8. Shadowing: Minimal shadowing due to COVID. Transplant Nephrologist for 25 hours.
9. Non-Clinical Volunteering: Fraternal organizations (Shriners & Freemasonry) and some school orgs. (minimal)
10. This might be my one selling point: I designed and run an EMS program that recruits EMTs from my university. We provide 911 coverage seven days a week during the school semester to a town in Texas. Prior to this, when calling 911, help could take up to an hour to arrive. Now the response time is cut back to a few minutes. This has been greatly beneficial to the community, and we respond to Fires, Vehicle wrecks, Strokes, Cardiac Arrests, to picking grandma off the floor. I am responsible for ~15 members and train incoming members. (1000+ hours)
11. No relevant honors.
12. I plan to take a gap year, but I am still not certain what to do during that time. I am in between three choices: Ambulance, Laboratory in city, or being hired at my Fire station as an employee.
Please let me know your thoughts on the best course of action regarding my Gap year / any general advice you may have.
Thank you.
