I'm hoping to apply this coming summer, by which time I will have the following qualifications.
white female math major, bio/Spanish minors
GPA - 3.9 (same sGPA I believe)
MCAT - 42 (15ps, 13vr, 14bs)
Research - 1 year, no publications
Volunteering - 2.5 years at 2 hours a week in the local community with an underserved population
Jobs - a lot of experience as a tutor and TA in both math and biochemistry
Other - pretty involved in my honors fraternity, held offices and all that
Honors - Dean's List each semester, special scholar program
For clinical experience, I did a little bit of volunteering with a hospice last summer, probably 10 hours max, but I want to continue that this coming summer. I'm trying to look for shadowing opportunities for Spring Break or after finals this semester (I don't have time during the school year with all my activities), but my calls have not yet borne fruit. I have had a lot of experience as a patient myself and during the summers I've mostly been doing academic catch-up from having to take a semester off for medical leave.
What are my chances/do you have any advice for getting more clinical experience?
Also, I'm trying to come up with a school list, and this is what I'm looking at so far (VA resident):
Boston University
Columbia University
Cornell University/Weill
Eastern Virginia Medical School
Georgetown University
Icahn/Mount Sinai
Mayo Medical School
New York University
Northwestern University/Feinberg
Stanford University
UCLA/Geffen
UNC Chapel Hill
University of Chicago
University of Miami/Miller
University of Pennsylvania/Perelman
University of Virginia
Unniversity of Cincinnati
USC/Keck
Vanderbilt University
Virginia Commonwealth University
Washington University in St. Louis
Yeshiva University/Albert Einstein
