So my stats are great and I plan to have 3-4 good LORs, but after browsing around here it looks like I have terrible ECs. Here's what I can account for off the top of my head:
Volunteering:
Note: I am an Asian, which also lowers my chances of acceptance
Volunteering:
- Religious organization that helps the poor: 120 hours over 2 summers (non-clinical)
- Local food pantry/soup kitchen: 20 hours, ongoing and planning for 35 more hours (non-clinical)
- Local hospital: 45 hours, ongoing and planning for at least 60-100 more hours
- ED physician: 6 hours
- General surgeon: 5 hours
- Nephrologist: 12 hours
- Trauma surgeon: 4 hours
- 240 hours of sports medicine/rehab research at school's athletic department, planning for 120 more hours before graduation, no publications
