I'll start by saying that during finals week second semester of freshman year, I had appendicitis and had to have surgery, so I messed up a couple finals pretty badly. I went to a state university in michigan that year, and transferred to another state university in michigan starting this year as a sophomore. I plan on retaking those classes to get the GPA up to where it should be. That being said, when I apply to medical school, my cGPA should be around a 3.6, as well as sGPA. I took a practice MCAT with essentially no studying and got a 29.
EC's: Volunteer at a major hospital 3hr/wk doing patient discharge. Philanthropy/community service chairman of my fraternity for two years. First year in that position, my chapter won the only outstanding community service award out of 200+ chapters of my fraternity. Also possibly about to begin pediatric neuropsych research.
Work: Worked at a retirement/nursing home for almost four years (non-clinical positions), with last two years spent as a department coordinator, which put 40+ people working directly under me. Currently work at same major hospital that I volunteer at, doing patient transport and some PCT type work.
I am a biochem major, psych minor.
