Rigorous coursework.
I did have a few rough patches through out my college career. Grandmother on one side almost died from lymphoma. Grandmother on other side died from lung cancer. Father had quadruple CABG. Worked part time through school. South-Asian Male.
Extracurricular:
Habitat for Humanity 3 years in college to present - Project Leader
Member of DHH Emergency Volunteer for the state
Volunteered during natural disaster crisis.
Volunteered for free community clinic
100's of hours shadowing including Otolaryngologist, Orthopedist (Sports and Spinal), Podiatrist, Family Practitioner/Internal Medicine. Plan on shadowing few other doctors.
Will also be starting some clinical research in the next month or 2.
Assisted and observed operating room surgeries/procedures.
1000's of hours of patient contact.
Medical Assistant for 3 years
Deans List
Hobbies:
self-trained guitar player, ultimate frisbee, build and troubleshoot computers, traveling
5-6 strong LOR's from physicians and manager/supervisor from current job/shadowing.
Maybe 1-2 decent LOR's from science professor (difficult since being out of school for so many years).
1 strong LOR from non-science professor.
Any ideas on my chances? Or suggestions for schools? Plan on applying to top SMP programs. Any advice would help. FYI: Louisiana Resident
Thanks!
