First off, thank you guys for your help in this! I'm super anxious and have gone through many sleepless nights this week and could use any and all advice.
Date of submission: Very early this cycle (June 2nd)
Overall GPA: 3.67 with all 4 years. Steep upwards trend: 3.3 -> 3.67 -> 3.76 -> 3.94
Science GPA: 3.495
Bio-Chem-Physics GPA: (Physics will be taken this coming year) - 3.675
Canadian DAT: 23 AA, 24 Chem, 21 Bio, 24 RC, 23 PAT 22 Science Total. Did not take MDT.
State of Residence: Canada (ontario)
Undergrad Attended: York University
Major: Kinesiology & Health Science (BSc).
Reapplicant? No
Nontrad? No
Shadowing Experience: ~60 hours in Hospital Dentistry, ~300 hours in Clinical
Volunteering Experience: ~250 hours in Hospitals (this was in Highschool though)
Employment: Lifeguard Instructor Trainer (I teach people how to teach lifeguards, but I also teach lifeguards on the side and work as one), First Aid Instructor Trainer (including Healthcare Provider's first aid, mainly doctors/nurses as clientele), Swimming Instructor. I have been working almost every weekend since I was 16, so there are too many hours to count
Research: ABSOLUTELY NONE... volunteered at a lab for one summer, but never got real work to do.
Other Extracurriculars: Secretary (in exec) of Pre-Dental Club at my school, Vice-President of a fraternity (not sure if I should include this in my app??), Scholarship chairman of Frat, intramural sports, captain of my soccer team (house league level) for 5 years running.
Relevant Honors or Awards: Dean's list, Gold Star for our frat chapter (chapter excellence, runner-up for best chapter in Canada) and OFSSA medal (for competing in rugby).
LOR type and strength: KINDA WEAK; one from epidemiology prof, One from head of Toronto Rehab Hospital dentistry team, One from endodontist/faculty member at UofT dental school.
I have asked 5 professors this semester (CoVID semester), none have responded. I was relying on two profs that I went to every office hour for but they also have not responded, so the other 5 I e-mailed didn't know me very well. Still salty those 2 profs didn't reply but it is what it is. I personally feel this is the weakest part of my application.
Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere: My prereqs aren't really there, but I'm taking them all as we speak. I'm taking English and Orgo this summer, will take full course load with biochem + physics + cell bio this coming year.
School list: Literally any school that will take me. My tops are probably NYU, Temple, Detroit Mercy or Case Western, but my options are fully open.
Thank you guys so much!!
