I got a 25Q on my MCAT (first one), and received 8's in VR and PS, and a 9 in BS. My overall gpa is 3.78 and major gpa is 3.89 (bio major, chem minor). I graduated from a state school, nothing special.
My EC's
1.) Working over 3 years for a plastic surgeon in her office. I do mostly office work, but also scribe during minor procedures and assist with whatever she needs done. This is more of a shadowing experience for me because i am called into the room whenever there is an interesting case, she is constantly explaining everything to me, and i am included in all her life details. It is a truely amazing experience
2.) Competitive Dance Team member for our univeristy for 1.5 years
3.) Volunteer at hospital for 1 semester
4.) Volunteer at animal shelther on and off for the past couple years
5.) Teaching assistant for 1 semester - 2 bio classes
6.) Endocrinology Research for 1 year, no publications...just helping out a grad student with basic procedures
7.) Red Tassel Mortar Board member- 1 year, where we did various volunteer events such as habitat, raising money for charities, etc.
8.) Secretary of Golden Key Honor Society- 1 semester
9.) Camp counselor for 5 years
10.) Other various volunteer events such as being a holiday party coordinator for the boys and girls club
11.) Mentorship/shadowing an opthalmologist- 1 semester
I am applying for the 2010 cycle and will apply as early as possible. Should i retake the MCAT? Or do you think 25 is good enough with my good gpa and my EC's to get me into either Rush, Loyola or UIC?? I am stuck on what to do. Thanks everyone!! 😳
