First off, I'm back h**s.
Some stats that are accurate at the time of me writing this (Nov 16, 2021) :
-Ohio Resident
-MCAT: 503 (2018), 516 (2020)
-GPA: 3.30 cPA, 3.35 sGPA (AMCAS). Please note this is before the addition of my DIY post-bacc hours.
-DIY Post Bacc GPA: 4.0 (14 credits by end of this semester) I would like to note I do not have lower than an A- in a BCPM lecture since 2018, so theres been some distance of time between myself and a lot of the grades that cumulated to a 3.3 and 3.35 above.
-Research: 1500 hours (1 Thesis produced in a Biochem/Immunology wet-lab). I successfully defended my Masters Thesis yesterday!!!!!!
-Clinical experience: 250 hours at a local free-clinic for the underserved
-Non-Clinical Volunteering: 50 hours at local food pantry, 50 hours at the aformentioned clinic doing non-clinical things.
-Shadowing: 30 hours, various specialties about half primary care and half non primary care.
My plan:
-Work 20 hours per week with 2 days of 10 hour work days (I must financially support myself)
-Volunteer 8 hours per week at local hospice with patient care
-Take 6 more credits of upper division science in upcoming Spring semester. Then take a first-half Summer or Maymester 3 or 4 credit class
-Volunteer 4 hours per week at local food pantry
-Continue volunteering 4 hours per week at local clinic
-Shadow
Anyone have an opinion on how good of an idea this is in prep for upcoming app season?
