- 3.7 and 3.7 but I BOMBED freshman year (2.2 GPA) and have had a 3.9+ for 5 years including a 3.93 over my 2 years at UC Berkeley)
- 520 (131,127,130,132)
- California
- Hispanic (Argentinean) I speak English and Spanish
- I went to a Cal State University then a Community College then UC Berkeley for my last 2 years
- 500 hours as a hospital volunteer, 1000 hours as a physical therapy aide
- 1 poster presentation at my community college, 70 hours as a research assistant at UC Berkeley where I mostly transcribed interviews of women with ADHD (an amazing experience but definitely not the strongest part of my app)
- 70 hours with an orthopedic surgeon and 70 hours with a neurosurgeon. I'm not interested in surgery and I felt like the 400 hours I spent in the ER volunteering was enough of a "shadowing experience."
- 120 hours in food pantries
- co-president of chess club for a year at my community college, orientation leader
- Phi Beta Kappa at UC Berkeley
- I am curious how schools will view my GPA. I bombed freshman year but maintained a 3.9+ for 5 years. I am definitely not the student I was at 18 (I'm 25 now). I also have over 1000 of just regular employment throughout college. I currently work at a preschool.
Thank you so much!!
