I'm finishing my first year out of undergrad in a non-clinical, biochemistry laboratory as a research tech.
GPA: 3.9 (Small liberal arts college)
sGPA: 3.7 (B+s in Physics, otherwise As)
MCAT: Not taken.
Major: Biochemistry, Communication minor
Drama, creative writing, and music ensembles in college. Tutored in Microbiology, Organic Chemistry, and Genetics and TA'd an undergraduate Chemistry 101 lab.
Am currently a church soloist, active in a semi-professional choir, and on a serious diocese event planning committee in my normal church.
Volunteering since January at hospital and Ronald McDonald house. Have a few evenings at a soup kitchen. (About 30 hrs total so far, but am leaving some music activities to focus on hospital and RMDH closer to 6-8hrs/wk)
My current volunteer position at the hospital is quality management. Moving into more direct patient contact during the summer on Peds floor.
Shadow
Pediatrician 72 hours
Pathologist 8 hrs
Have set up a shadow for summer in ENT center at hospital
Undergrad Research
10 wk summer project between junior and senior year.
1.5 years undergrad research at home college
Have personally cared for an elderly man with bone cancer as a live-in for a week, babysat a young girl with cerebral palsy every day for one summer, and have cared for a personal family member who suffered a debilitating stroke.
My patient contact in professional situations is more limited so far than in personal situations, but I want to apply next summer (2011) after volunteering in situations stated above.
I'm most interested in Baylor and Mt. Sinai, but plan to apply to smaller and state schools as well.
Suggestions?
