Asian-American male.
-Your cumulative and science GPA (following AMCAS or AACOMAS calculation standards, as applicable)
cGPA: 3.4 / sGPA: ~2.4
I haven't calculated my BCMP in a while so this is probably inaccurate but still close to what my actual science GPA is.
-Your MCAT score (if available)
28, first attempt. PS:9, VR:9, BS:10.
-Clinical volunteer activities
Just started a few weeks ago at Hospice, not that many hours.
-Physician shadowing (include specialties and total hours)
None, had it set up and the doctor wanted more paper work officially from my school, etc.
-Research
None, starting soon, but this won't be on my application for this cycle, which is almost over anyways.
-Nonclinical volunteer activities
None.
-Letters of recommendation.
1 from a science professor I received an A in her class. Should be 2 but my other professor passed away, and he was my favorite professor too, I was supposed to start researching with him this past summer....... :'(
-Extracurriculars.
Certified personal trainer.
Avid pianist.
Been on two study abroad trips.
Other random hobbies like advanced scuba diving certification and such that I doubt I could even mention.
-Employment
Worked in retail briefly, about two semesters at Abercrombie.
Also worked as a science and math tutor for a semester.
Yeah, my application looks dismal, it almost doesn't even look like I have a real reason to try to apply. I am strongly considering doing an SMP. I am retaking my MCAT in January just to see what score I can get, I am confident I can break 30, and then some. But we will see.
