Hello,
I'm a white male EE major who, after 7 short years, will be graduating next year with a 4.0GPA. I've got amazing LORs (including a Nobel Prize winner I play chess with weekly). I've only had a year of "research": half of year of washing dishes in a biology lab and a half year doing clinical psychology research. I was VP of Finance one year and president one year of our IEEE chapter. ~200 hours of volunteering in an hospital, ~50 hours shadowing doctors of various specialties. I've also worked as a biology tutor for the past year and am a certified EMT-B. I took Genetics over the summer in Spain and am fluent in Spanish. I'll be taking the MCAT over the summer then applying immediately afterwords (I've been studying hard for it
).
My biggest concern is Spring of my forth year I dropped every one of my classes. Two academic drops and three non academic drops. I had seven relatives die the previous year including my grandmother and for whatever reason I barely grieved until then when it all just sort of flooded in. I got mildly depressed and extremely lethargic. Those are the only five classes I ever dropped and I immediately bounced back with 16 credit hours worth of A's over the summer while working part time and volunteering.
I'm interested in both MD and MD/PhD programs.
