Year in school: graduated spring 2018, planning to apply for 2020 cycle
Country/state of residence: Virginia
Schools to which you are applying: EVMS, VCU, VT (both DO/MD), GW, Rosalind Franklin, Quinnipiac, WVU, NOVA Southeastern (both DO/MD), U of Colorado, Seton Hall, Indiana University, U Kentucky, U Louisville, New York Medical College, Drexel, Oakland, Penn State, Central Michigan, Rowan, UNC, Temple, U Vermont, Wayne State, U Arizona (Tucson), U Toledo, Wright State.

Cumulative GPA: 3.71
Science GPA: 3.73
MCAT Scores: 508 (128/125/127/128)
not retaking because my practice exam average was 510 with <125 CARS so its unlikely to recreate for me
Research – 1 semester on Fatty Liver Disease. No pubs, just submitted paper to school Biology department
Volunteering (clinical): 120 hours: majority in ER
Physician shadowing: desperately looking
Non-clinical volunteering: none; volunteered for several psych studies my freshman year but idk if this matters (20 hours)
Extracurricular activities: Lead guitarist in school Pep Band (4 years) - 600+ hours, part of school's pre-med society but didn't do much in it (1 year),
Employment history: about to start scribing
Immediate family members in medicine? (y/n): n
Specialty of interest: not sure yet
Graduate degrees: Debating an SMP or post-bacc; don't know if its necessary for my stats
Interest in rural health (y/n): don't care
I know my weakness is lack of experience and EC's however, I plan to catch up on that stuff before May since I plan to apply first thing when apps open. Any advice on EC's, post-bacc/SMP, and schools are greatly appreciated.
