okay genuinely i know theres a lot of ****posts on here of kids that sound neurotic but i used to use chanceme and a2c a lot when i got into undergrad.



cGPA: 3.82 sGPA: 3.6

Shadowing: 200 hours at large healthcare group between 2 hospitals (one is a large teaching hospital for a T30 med) in critical care (50) pulmonary (20), IR (50), Pathology (15), Rad Onc (15), neurosurgery (50)

Clinical research: Currently i only have 100hrs but I've published two papers of low level research (think case reports, meta analysis etc.). The research however gave me several interactions hands on with patients and many experiences to write about. Published in two neurosurgery journals as second author.

expect to have 500 more at the end of this year as I've just committed to a 20/hr week research position unpaid collecting patient information and data entry. Public health longitudinal study but in the field of neurology
Clinical Volunteering: just registered for neursurgery nursing volunteer program, will commit 150 hours by application cycle
Volunteering:
200hrs beach cleanups and various student community life organization events, fundraisers, etc.

Clinical experience: none :/ I'm hoping to become a phlebotomist for the study I just became a part of but if I do I'd only have 100 ish hours before application cycle at the end of this year.

What is your MCAT score? I think your low amount of clinical hours is a big red flag. Most schools have a minimum of 150 to even be considered

Yes. Try and do better than 150 hours of clinical experience. You’ve got a year to get it so you’re fine. Sacrifice the research hours - you’ve got more than enough there.
