Hi everyone,
I will actually be applying next year for 2018-2019 cycle, but will most likely be in the army for the next 2 years, so I would like to get advice on school list in advance (not much internet access while in the military).
Double major (both science)
cGPA:3.82
sGPA:3.82
MCAT: 513 --> 518 (retake)
Volunteering: ~50 hrs in free clinic; ~200 hrs outside the US; and ~200 hrs in third world country
Shadowing: ~200 hrs
Research: ~2000 hrs while in college (honor's thesis, a poster at national conference, and one 1st author pub., low impact); ~3000 hrs at another lab (one 4th author pub., high impact)
Teaching: TA for one semester, Research Mentor, and one pretty unique teaching experience
Leadership: President at two clubs; Will have completed 1 year of military service as a medic by the time I apply next year
Awards: Research Scholarship upon undergrad matriculation (~1% students receive this)
As I wrote in the beginning, I'm an international re-applicant (non-Canadian). When I applied last time, I had same stats minus publications, clinical volunteering in the free clinic and third world country, one teaching experience, and military service.
I'm a little bit worried that admissions will look down upon doing military service outside the U.S. (non-US army), since I won't be using English at all for the next 2 years.
Thank you for your help in advance!
