Hmm, you think UNC is a reach? My MCAT is right at their average so it's certainly no guarantee, but I thought I would have a decent shot.
White Male
UNC-Chapel Hill
Biochemistry (B.S.), biology minor
GPA - 3.752
sGPA - 3.683
MCAT - 514 (129/128/129/128) (91%)
LOR's = decent from chemistry professor, pretty strong from math professor, very strong from literature professor. Will also probably try to get a good one from the PI at my clinical research job.
Health/Science Activities =
hospital volunteering (~150 hours)
summer camp for kids with muscular dystrophies (1 week)
limited shadowing (will get more during gap year)
clinical research job with cardiology (really involved in this, should be able to get my name on a paper or 2 before applying)
Used to work in a biochemistry lab doing protein purification/NMR
**want to get a job during gap year that gives me more clinical experience (EMT or CNA, probably)
Extracurriculars =
Co-president of student-run tutoring club that goes to local K-12 public schools
Volunteer in chemistry center at school; provide tutoring/offer course advice
Probably going to apply to UNC, Duke, UVA, ECU, Charleston SC... not sure about others.
