I am currently about to be a first time reapplicant, and I need some advice on where I might have a chance of getting in.
stats:
BS biology UNC in 3 years. 3.55 cgpa and about that sgpa. Strong upward trend with 3.0 freshman year (all B s) and ~3.8 last two years
First MCAT 32O: VR 9 PS 10 BS 13BS.
Second MCAT 35N: 10VR 11PS 14BS
ECs:
president of the UNC chapter of Rotaract (a humanitarian service organization).
5 years of clinical experience both paid and unpaid including shadowing and volunteering (which also resulted in a very strong and personally written letter of recommendation from the Chief of Staff of a hospital whom I have known for many years).
about a year of research experience in an HIV lab during which time I received a grant for my own project, but I do not have my name on any publications.
In this year off I am founding and programming a software start-up that is very people oriented and taking MBA level classes on entrepreneurialship while looking for a medical mission trip to gain international experience and fluency in Spanish (Im almost there).
Last year I interviewed at NYMC, UNC, ECU, UCF, and Wake Forest and was wait listed at Wake Forest and UCF but rejected outright by NYMC, UNC, and ECU >.<...
Instate at NC and I have some connections at Duke and UCF.
What are my chances/where might I be likely to get in? I would like to apply to some reach schools (probably Duke) but am not looking for a hardcore research school (like Pritzker or Hopkins... not that I would get in either place lol but hopefully you get the idea). Im worried because I am going to submit my primaries tomorrow... My list so far is:
1. UNC
2. ECU
3. U Central Florida
4. Wake Forest
5. Duke
6. NYMC
7. Michigan State?
8. George Washington
9. Miami
10. Florida International U
11. Temple
12. Boston U
13. tufts
14. U South Florida
15. FSU
16. U South Carolina
17. Marshall
18. Tulane
19. Louisiana State U
20. Saint Louis U
21. Jefferson
REACH
22. Emory
23. Columbia
24. SUNY Downstate
25. Mt. Sinai
26. Vanderbilt
