Hey everyone,
2022 Grad, 2 years of gap, 1 year due to financial and familiar reasons and the other due to being too late in the cycle with no start on apps. I have not taken the MCAT yet, I was to take my MCAT 3 months ago but have been delayed with progress and will likely be pushing it back to aim for a 515+.
My ethnicity is South east Asian- Paksitani. Reside in Florida.
I am sitting at a 3.84 GPA, with roughly a 3.75 sGPA
I am currently virtually scribing for a clinic and have been for over 2 years and prior to that was scribing for roughly 6 months, totaling approximately 3000 hours or so in clinical experience. Primarily attained this position during the pandemic but due to the connection I have with the physician and enjoyment of the occupation I have continued working here.
My volunteering hours are 150 hours working at free clinic where I was helping with charting/ taking vitals, rooming patients, and then administrative tasks such as checking patients in and scheduling follow ups. This was done over the course of 3-4 months. I additionally did shadow the physician during the time, but I do not believe this can be considered full shadowing as it was mostly volunteering.
My extracurriculars include being a premed mentor to 2 students over the span of a year.
I was a main member of a subclub within a major club and assisted with presentations as well as presented my own 3 presentations for general health and wellness information given to general student body of campus.
I did shadow a urological clinic for approximately 1.5 months, aside from this I have about 50 hours of eShadowing.
Would it be best that I decrease working at this scribing position and incorporate shadowing of a doctor, or perhaps try to commit to research? Generally, what would YOU do in my position to give me the best chances, is what I am asking. Thank you for reading!
and wanted to know, with this additional year I will have until next application cycle how best should I improve my chances for the next cycle? I
