Hello everyone,
So this cycle (my first time I applied) I applied to 9 schools. So far I have had one pre-December interview and one post December interview coming up shortly. Have heard nothing else from any of the other schools as of yet. My stats are as follows:
Science GPA: 3.59 Total GPA: 3.66 DAT: 21 AA, 22 TS, lowest score is a 16 in QR
100 volunteer hours at time of application, 64 shadowing hours at time of application (continuing to do both though weekly), also work as a microbiologist which I think gives me a unique non-trad advantage
I feel like my scores and stats are on track for accepted applicants but having received so few interviews so far I am pretending as if I am not getting in the cycle and preparing for the next one. My question is what can I do to improve for next cycle? Just get more shadowing hours and volunteer hours and call it good? I applied 8/21/15 so I don't know if that has to do with how it has gone with me so far. Would you guys recommend just improving those two areas (shadowing and volunteering hours) and applying day one? Just want to know so I can get a head start. Thanks!
