I have been creeping on this forum for long enough...thought I'd ask the masses about my situation:
37N, 3.9 GPA (both science and regular) from ivy league
ECs: varsity sports team captain, volunteer work, clinical research, and "shadowing" in a residential treatment program (it was psych patients and the head was a MSW not an MD).
PBK, magna, honors
I just submitted my AMCAS yesterday and am waiting for transcripts (I had a late grade that delayed me).
My concerns are my late application (I have a feeling it will take a while for processing) and my lack of "real" shadowing. Do you think they'll look upon clinical reasearch/volunteer positions as sufficient clinical exposure? I'm also moderately concerned about my "N" on the MCAT writing.
Do I have a shot for UPenn, Harvard, Vandy, UMich, UCSF (OOS), Cornell, Baylor, Mayo, Dartmouth, Tufts?
Any help is appreciated- thanks!
