Hi all,
I am here to ask, given my stats, what I should be looking for in terms of Safety, Target, and Reach schools.
About me:
I am currently in the process of finishing up my primary application. I am a re-applicant for medical school, having had one interview last year.
About me: I am both Latino (Argentine) and white by most definitions, and am an Illinois resident.
Stats: 3.61 cGPA, uncertain sGPA but according to my undergraduate institution my major GPA is 3.53 (I think my advisor said once that my sGPA itself would be a 3.65, but I cannot remember perfectly). MCAT is 513. I have improved my grades dramatically, bringing my undergraduate GPA from a 3.23 my first semester to a 3.91 for my final semester.
In terms of extracurricular activities, I have 1.5 years of research experience, working in a biochemical and a toxicology lab. In addition, I participated in 1 semester of volunteering in an ICU (~48 hours) by my University, and have significant non-medical volunteering experience (100+ hours), especially in social empowerment and environmental restoration. In addition, I was heavily involved in the Jewish culture scene on my campus, and have also played in a traditional Indonesian folk music ensemble for 3 years.
