Hello all. I had a rather disappointing experience over this current cycle ('21-'22) and only wound up with 1 interview that turned into a WL. I need some help to improve my app under the assumption that I'll need to re-apply (how I'm approaching my situation).
I'm:
-25
-White male
-Live in and from TX
-Upper-middle class background
Stats:
-3.7 cGPA/3.8 sGPA
-507 (126/128/127/125) - already studying to retake this for next cycle
-B.S. in Speech Pathology/Audiology from UT-Austin, completed a post-bac program with a 3.9
ECs:
-400 hours shadowing for an ENT physician - I began shadowing for an ENT physician at the start of my post-bac program
-200 hours clinical work as a speech therapist in undergrad - I administered speech therapy for stroke survivors and children with communication impairments at 2 separate facilities
-500 hours work as a staff member of my college radio station - I worked as the department head for our membership unit, training new members and facilitating orientation
-500 hours research - I work as an RA for a lab studying social cognition of autistic adults
-200 hours interning with a local speech therapist - I did clinical observations of a speech therapist while in undergrad
Employment:
Currently
-Scribe/assistant for the ENT doctor with whom I began shadowing. I room patients, take histories, write scripts, and follow the physician through physical exams. I also recently underwent training, sponsored by my employer, to conduct hearing tests for our office audiologist. I've been conducting full-length, diagnostic hearing tests for a few months now
-Office aide for local speech therapist. I work insurance and assist with clinical work for a speech therapy office
Prior
-General & Organic Chem Tutor on Wyzant - maintained a 5-star review with 30-50 responses
-Call center worker for undergrad alumni association - worked to collect donations for my undergrad
-Cashier at a local grocery store
-Retail associate at a clothing store
Had 5 strong LORs, wrote a nice PS (friends and family who read it felt it flowed quite well), but submitted most of my secondaries around early Aug., which I realize now is kind of late.
Thanks to any and all who've read this far.
