Hey all,
I am currently a recent graduate of a top 10 university on my gap year doing clinical research. I was involved in a pretty serious incident the fall of my senior year. Basically what happened was, I was at a bar (not intoxicated) and some drunk dinguses picked a fight with me and jumped me. I reacted in self-defense and inadvertently injured some of the workers there who filed a complaint via my school's disciplinary system. The student conduct office found that I endangered the health of others regardless of my initial self-defense against the 3 guys that attacked me. They stated that I went beyond self-defense in injuring the people breaking it up. I was placed on a year of suspension that does not show up on my transcript, but is held in a disciplinary file at my school accessible to graduate schools.
The entire incident was a huge wake up call for me on how one mistake I made can jeopardize everything I have worked for. I have had enormous personal growth from the experience and know now to remove myself from these situations before they even arise. There are no criminal charges against me beyond the disciplinary action. I am a good person at the end of the day and was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Here are my stats:
GPA: 3.5
sGPA: 3.45
MCAT: 514
ECs: President of pre-health group, Coordinator for clinic that serves homeless population and Coordinator for group that supports and counsels kids with cancer, biochemical research, and now clinical research as a gap year.
What do you think my chances are? I appreciate the input thank you so much!
