LOL i'll mention a few things, where do I begin? My GPA is pretty good and the only thing off is my MCAT is below their avg (super bummed about this but it is what it is), I guess that is grounds for me to apply to the Caribbean.
I have ~900 hours of shadowing/hospital experience over multiple years but I guess I need to shadow 5 doctors instead because that wasn't what they wanted? I have around 1,000 research hours in the lab but not having a publication is frowned upon. I have a few awards but they weren't the "right" awards or honors to get lol
. I also have 4,000 hours of service but that didn't help my app at all apparently. *Insert* "that's nice, but we really are looking for...." I taught students as well, but they pointed out that I wasn't a TA in a preferred subject. Seems like if you don't have close to a 90 percentile or up they will pick apart your application, just an FYI. I've done more but those are the highlights. It's just funny that I know people who got in with no research or barely any volunteering or shadowing experience, but had the one thing better, which is the desired test score.
