So I am a rising Senior now and just got my score back today.
My uGPA is a 3.63, sGPA is a 3.84. Grade trend is strong upward (got a 2.5 first semester freshman year). Minus this one semester my gpa is a 3.78 uGPA and a 3.93 sGPA.
Biochemistry Major with a Liberal Arts degree, graduating in 2017
I took the MCAT twice.
5/20 509/129/125/128/127
7/09 514/130/127/129/128 ~ 92%
EC:
President and Founder of the School's Biochemistry Club
Officer Pre-health Society
Calculus TA - 1 year
Volunteer O-Chem tutor/ta, will be paid though this fall
Volunteer English Tutor for H.S in Italy during my study abroad.
Shadowing - Will be shadowing for an entire week next week so probably 50+ hours
Jobs:
Worked for several months as a Clinical Research Coordinator on several Phase 3 drug trials in the field I am interested in (Neurology). I had direct patient contact and basically was second to the PI in running the trials. Approximately 400 hours.
Organic Chemistry Research - 400 hours -> no posters
LOR: Will get strong LOR. I believe I will get 2 committee letters from both the Chemistry and Biology department.
Will have a strong personal statement about my journey to medicine and the medical ailments I have had to overcome which affected and led me to medicine.
I am not really sure where to apply. I know I am late but I should be ready to go in 2 weeks (transcripts, LOR). Yes I probably should take a gap year to better my chances but I still want to apply this cycle. I am a resident in Michigan and have strong ties to the Texas area and NY so I am applying to most of these schools. I do not have a problem with DO schools as well. Can someone help me make a list.
Here is my Rough list, and yes I know many are reaches.
