Going through and finalizing my primary and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on other schools to apply to.
Major: Biomedical Engineering at a large state school
cGPA: 3.38
sGPA: 3.2 or so, depending upon what is calculated into it, definitely lower than my cGPA
MCAT: 11/11/10 (VR/PS/BS) with an O in writing
Illinois Resident
-Summer of research which ended in third author on a patent
-Summer of hospital work (300+ hours)
-Couple of interesting engineering courses focused on developing medical devices for developing areas of Africa
-Planning some shadowing for later this summer, after application submission
-3 year commitment to club sport which required 10 hours or so a week, every week of undergrad
Ideally I want to stay in state, but I feel like I might be shooting myself in the foot if I apply to so few schools. With my less than stellar GPA and "good but not great" MCAT I know Northwestern and University of Chicago are out of the picture, that leaves me with
-Loyola
-Rosalind Franklin
-Rush
-U of I
-SIU
I had also considered
- University of Wisconsin
- Baylor
- Loma Linda
Thoughts?
