Hi, I'm about to end my sophomore year. I had a dismal first semester freshman year, and I pulled off a 1.9 GPA (personal issues). But I've gotten A's ever since. I currently have a 3.45 GPA and I feel confident to finish off close to or at a 3.7. Here are my other stats:
Academic:
-Biological sciences major.
-Math minor.
Research:
-Spent freshman year working on a physics-biology project under a professor. Ended with a paid internship at a physics laboratory in the summer. Did a poster, but no publication.
-Started sophomore year in a Bio-Math fellowship. Lasts two years. Made a poster, attended a couple school-wide colloquiums, will attend a nationwide conference this fall, and will end the fellowship with a thesis--hopefully a publication will transpire.
Clinical:
-Spend my summers volunteering at a childrens hospital; 70 hours so far.
-Shadowed one pediatric ER doc so far.
Other EC:
-Will start volunteer tutoring next fall for high school kids.
-Volunteered in feeding and providing food for the homeless.
Truthfully, this potential application seems scanty. I feel I need more EC and more shadowing experience. Moreover, I will most likely take a year off after my four years of undergrad. What do you guys think about my application?
