Hi. Thanks for clicking. Hopefully you can help me out. I'm looking for a list of schools that could range from reach to safety (if that even exists for someone in my lowly position). I've done my own research, but some of it seems conflicting so your input will help. Some info about me:
27 years old Male - White - Jewish - Immigrant Parents (fled Soviet Union due to antisemitism), First Generation American (my friend leaned on that when he went to his interview and was accepted so I included it).
I am currently an undergrad taking the MCAT in a few months, just finished Orgo II and BioChem over summer, graduating Spring 2017.
I left school as a Junior to deploy with the Army National Guard to a combat zone. Was a team leader at one point. Served 4 years (1 deployed). I opened a fast food restaurant franchise with a friend upon returning and employed 20+ people at any time. I served as CEO of our small company. Over $1MM+ gross annually. My name has been mentioned on forbes.com, entrepreneur.com. I was 23 when we opened. Sold business at 25 and returned to school to do preMed.
- Major Poli Sci
- Minors English, BioChem
- MD calculated cGPA 3.51 (have an F as a freshman, retook class)
- DO calculated cGPA 3.6
- 3 W's (incurred prior to deployment and prior to return for preMed - age 18-20)
- since returning have maintained a 3.96 gpa over 56 credits (hoping to show strong uptrend, didn't take school seriously when I was younger).
- Community Service: 100 hours
- Shadow: 50 hours
- Clinical: 120 hours
- Research: none, but beginning independent study with a faculty mentor in chemistry this week. If thesis approved may be published Spring 2017
- Had several leadership roles in fraternity at school
So... where do I have shot? Thanks in advance
