Hi all,
I am a Junior Math and Biology major (statistics/chem minor) at a small midwestern college and will be applying this coming cycle. I was wondering about which tier medical schools should I be applying to? Are there any specific schools that look good for me?
One extraneous question: how competitive will I be for a MD/phD program?
cGPA = 3.81
sGPA = 3.87
MCAT = 37 (13P/11V/13B)
EC's:
-Co-founder and captain of a prominent athletic club on campus (2 yrs)
-Exec position (Pledge educator) and athletic co-captain for largest social fraternity on campus
-Varsity swimmer for 1 year (NCAA championship qualifier)
-Study abroad to Europe over the summer
-Order of Omega honor society (top 3% of greek students)
Other:
-1 year of botany research on campus and during the summer that will hopefully lead to a publication.
-100 clinical volunteering hours between ICU and other departments
-16 hours physician shadowing so far, but should have around 40 by june
-Around 200 hours general volunteering around community over 4 years.
4 very solid letters of recommendation - 2 from science professors, 1 from a grad level - statistics professor, and 1 from a famous cardiac surgeon (best friends father whom i've shadowed).
Is there anything else I should be doing at this point? Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I should point out that I am a white male..... yep
