By the time I apply,
I have 3.84 GPA (strong upward trend from 3.3 in freshman year. basically got straight A's since then)
MCAT: 35 R 14/7/14 R (retaking in March.. 7 was the lowest VR score I can ever get in practice so expecting at least 9 with hopefully good sciences as well).
Extracurricular
-4 years bible group leader, campus ministry fellowship
-praise team drummer (started learning in junior year)
-1 year at the campus meetings
-1.5 year at church
-2.5 year homeless feeding volunteer (~100 hrs)
-1.5 years volunteer at Alzheimer's center (~200 hours) - not clinical
-2 years general biology class UGSI
-was in part of raising money couple times (> $1000) for missions/other stuff
-currently working in DNA sequencing facility in campus (1 year ~15 hr/wk)
-planning on going to medical mission during spring break for a week. (clinical?)
Clinical
-1 year hospital volunteering (~250 hrs) - Kinda short on this one.. hope it's okay. (worth mention to volunteer in another hospital for 25 hours?)
-Shadowing (~60 hrs) (primary care/Obgyn/gastroenterology...)
Research
-2 years Organometallic Chemistry with professor pretty well known in the field and letter will be signed by him.
- one paper submitted to Science but not listed as authors. mentioned in acknowledgement
Letters
-2 letters from Science professors.. I already asked one for summer research job and he was pretty willing to but not sure how good it can be. For another professor, I think I have a great impression on her as I ask question like every class, I could get to talk about my research and got A+
-1 letter from my PI, which will be signed by a professor: expecting to be strong
