Hello, I just completed my sophomore year of college and even though my grades are fine, I am not sure if I'll be ready put through a solid application for the summer of 2011.
-Here is what I have accomplished so far
Freshmen year:
Biology I- A
Biology II- B+
Chemistry I- A
Chem lab- A
Chem II- A
chem lab- A
pre-calc- A
Calculus I- A
Sophomore year:
Genetics- B
Cell bio and physiology- A-
Orgo I- A
Orgo lab- A
Orgo II- A
Orgo lab A
Junior Year I plan on taking the following courses and then the MCAT in late June:
Molecular Genetics
Mammalian Physiology
Physics I
Physics II
Biochemistry of Physiology
(I have only listed courses that would count towards my sGPA)
-So far my cGPA is ~3.8 (only Bs have been in science classes)
For EC:
-Been doing research with a physiology professor involving photo-transduction since second semester of sophomore year, I do not think there will be publication by the end of my junior year. By the time I apply would have been doing this for about 1.5 years.
- volunteer tutoring, it will have been 1.5 years, approx ~200 hours by the time i apply.
-volunteering at the University health center at my university, about ~120hours when i apply
(These are basically the three solid things I do on a weekly basis)
-This summer I will start volunteer at a hospital and also shadow a few doctors, hope to have about ~200hpurs of volunteering and ~50hours of shadowing from until the time i apply.
-this summer I will also be a mentor for day camp program lasts a week, in which I will help to promote science and math in young elementary to middle school kids.
-In my junior and I also plan to be Guided study session leader for one of the Orgo classes at my school. This involves me holding two weekly review session for interested student, and helping them to better grasp the material. Could this go under leadership? and I would have done this for two consecutive semesters before I apply.
So what do you guys think, will I Have a solid application for summer of 2011 if everything goes as planned?
Thanks in advance
