First time applying and just about ready to send in my AMCAS on Tues, Jun 5.
cGPA: 3.15
sGPA: 2.94
Originally a ChemE and switched majors in Spring 2009. GPA plummeted to 2.10
Upward trend from Spring 2009 - Spring 2012 with semester GPAs of:
3.87, 4.00 (summer), 3.66, 3.66, 3.66, 3.71
Earned a C or better in all pre-reqs (although I had to re-take Gen Chem II)
Will be attending an SMP for the 2012-2013 academic year at RFU (Where do I put this in AMCAS btw?)
Emphasized my turnaround and switching majors in my personal statement
MCAT #1: 26 M (PS 8, VR 9, BS 9) --> May 2011?
MCAT #2: 31 Q (PS 10, VR 10, BS 11) --> Jan 2012
Extracurriculars:
Shadowing: 25 hours with a geriatrician
Volunteering at a hospital: 160 hrs with a summer in ACU, 1 year in ED, 1 year in OR (observed 5 surgeries for a total of 7 hours)
Fraternity:
Held positions of Pledge Social Chair & Executive Social Chair for 1 semester respectively
Professional Fraternity: 3 years as general member
Held positions of Attendance Chair (1 sem), Assistant Treasurer (1 sem), Executive Treasurer (2 sems)
Mentor/Tutor:
Mentored a seventh grader for 1 year
Work:
Worked as a Seasonal Employee at a nursing home for 3 years
Research:
Currently working at a Phase II Clinical Study: a Drug Treatment for Cocaine Dependence (will be working for the summer up until October)
I'm an Illinois Resident planning to apply to UIC, RFU, Loyola, Rush, SIU, Midwestern (DO). What are my chances?
