Hello everyone,
I came across this site a few days ago and have been reading some of these threads. I thought that maybe I should go for it, just post where I am so far and see what is said, because the advice Ive read here is great. I hate putting myself out there, but I know that any advice any of you could give will be much appreciated.
I am a senior, minority student in undergrad, and through a myriad of obstacles and hurdles, I have to say that Im not giving up on this dream no matter what. I decided to apply after my senior year (this coming summer), due to my low cGPA and sGPA. The numbers below are less than what I expect of myself, but they are what they are at this point. I keep myself motivated through my family, my pre-med advisors and through my motivation to become a doctor.
Okay, here I go putting myself out there! Here are the stats:
5.Creighton University Medical Center (CUMC) Volunteer
6.Lab Assistant Department of Biology
7.Center for Service and Justice Service Trip Coordinator/Leader
8.Gates Millennium Scholarship Mentor
9.Center for Service and Justice Service Trips
Advice or any correspondence will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
