I'll be starting my third year of undergrad this upcoming semester, so I won't be applying until next cycle. I attend a small, religious liberal arts university in Kentucky. I'm also from a rural area. Here are my stats up to this point:
MCAT: 35L
PS: 12
VR: 11
BS: 12
Biology Major, possible Chemistry minor, Christian ministries minor
4.0 GPA
ECs: Currently, I'd say I have somewhere around 50-60 hours of shadowing, but I'm hoping to increase that number in the upcoming months. My community service hours are similar, so I'm working to increase that number as well. I've been to two summer pre-medical programs at the University of Kentucky (each 4-5 weeks long) where I've done most of my shadowing. I lifeguard and tutor at my school. I've also helped to establish a pre-health professions club at my school and will be serving as the vice-president this year. I'm also a cabinet member on another science organization on campus. I'll likely be doing some mission work abroad sometime before I apply. I'll also be involved in research as a part of my major.
I'm definitely going to apply to the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville, but I'm also considering Vandy, UNC, and possibly even Baylor. Honestly, what are my chances of being accepted by these schools? Given my stats, are there any other schools that I should consider? Finally, what else can I do to help my application? Thanks in advance for any advice!
