I am currently a sophomore, by the time I apply following my jr. year, here's what I will probably have done:
-Biology major; econ minor: 3.6cgpa, 3.7sgpa (taking into account my first semester freshman year I dealt with a personal situation and ended with a 3.09 cgpa)
-32 mcat
-Strong lor's from 2 doctors, o-chem prof, and physics prof.
-Certified EMT-B, 100+ hours clinical experience
-150+ hours of shadowing (2 orthopedic surgeons, 1 pediatrician, 1 ob/gyn)
-5 months of research in a psych lab, 4 hours/week
-1 year of research in a genetics lab, 6 hours/week
-50 hours of basic volunteering at a hospital (had to stop because I tore my ACL and didn't have time/ability to do it with rehab, etc.)
-President of a SASA (diversity org.), member of APO (service fraternity), membership in 2 other orgs, and youth mentor in a non-college religious group
What do you guys think will be my chances of getting into an MD school? Any suggestions on how to improve my chances? Appreciate any and all input... thanks!
