Currently a biochemistry major at UIUC. Here are my stats.........
Overall GPA: 3.81 Science GPA: 3.81
MCAT: Did not take it yet, but starting kaplan course in a week. Got a 24 on the diagnostic....did really bad on the verbal
Research: Currently working in a protein folding lab (two years so far). Have my own project and could potentially get two publications, one that is first author. My plan is to do research over the summer with a group that studies Parkinsons at Rush University.
Teaching Experience: Taught an upper-level chemistry lab for freshmen and sophomores for one semester.
Other ECS:
1) Volunteered at local hospital for 150 hours as a student escort and an assist for the Oncology dept.
2) Plan to shadow one of the Parkinsons Doctors at Rush over the summer
3) Joined a Chemistry Professional fraternity that has local fundraising events and has tutors for first year chemistry students.
4) Also part of a club that periodically goes to shelters to feed the homeless.
I was thinking about applying to schools such as Rush and UIC, maybe Pritzker as a reach?????
