Hi all! I'm new to this site, and I've read through some of the threads here but I figure I'd post my own stats here and see what you guys think.
UC student with BME major, 2nd year
(also working on anthro minor just because that's what I would have majored in had bio and chem classes not been impacted and really hard to get into)
cGPA: 3.94 sGPA: 3.89
MCAT: N/A - will take this August
--
EC's
Volunteering at hospital - 4hr/wk since high school (currently ~400+) in messenger/dispatch and recently this year, in ER
Clinical research with bariatric surgeon - 2 quarters so far, but expecting to maintain position for 1-2 yrs at least; position allows me to observe his laparoscopic surgeries and follow him while he treats patients (so...informal shadowing exp...?)
--one publication pending, 4th author
Shadowing - ~4-5hrs so far with primary care physician
Tau Beta Pi (engineering honor society) - running for board this quarter
--
I really just wanted advice on how to up my EC's since they seem kind of scant compared to everything else I've seen on SDN. I would start tutoring, but because I'm BME, my major took me out of two bio classes that the bio students had to take and I'm completing my bio core right now so I can't start tutoring until next year unless I apply for math. And other than tutoring, I'm not really sure what else to do...
