About me: Asian, pretty good school, TX resident
Research:
- 1 year/200 hours at uni
- 1 summer/500 hours at hospital (continuing from previous summer in HS), co-author in pub
- 2 summers/200 hours at non-profit org looking at drug waste, was going to perhaps publish something but my boss unfortunately passed
Health:
- 0.5 year/50 hours at free clinic (pretty cool, got to prick patients and measure blood glucose)
- 1 year/75 hours at Alzeheimer center/nursing home (not extremely "clinical", more reassuring/supervising seniors and Alzeheimer patients)
- 40 hours Chinese clinic (translating role mainly)
- 100 hours shadowing (didn't seem to get as much out of it as others, never got to witness surgeries or drastic situations where doctors had to make a tough call...I did sit in some doctor meetings which was neat)
Community Service:
- 2 years/300 hours at Asian cultural club, exec board I suppose
- 1 year/150 hours at health awareness club, VP of Administration
Letters: 2 from sci, 1-2 from non-sci, 1 from mentor at hospital from experience listed above

Worries are clearly my weak GPA/sGPA and ECs. I'm wondering if there are schools I should've included, as well as some I may as well just strike out? I included schools mostly for scores vs my own IIRC. My GPA/sGPA are not particularly competitive for almost all schools compared to the mean scores...
Also, should I consider post-bacc?
Thanks everyone
