Some information about me:

Ethnicity: Eastern Asian

Resident State: WA

Sex: Male

Majors: Neuroscience and Psychology

cGPA: 3.88, sGPA: 3.83

Trend: 3.73 the first 2 years at community college, but 4.00’d my last 5 semesters at a 4-year institution

MCAT: 517 128/127/131/131

Research: Volunteered clinical research study recruiter at college hospital ED for 1.5 years.

Clinical Volunteering: 223 hours clinical volunteering (including an international medical mission, volunteering in the ED and around the hospital)

Non-Clinical Volunteering: 210.8 hours

Paid Clinical Work (as a Scribe): ~200 hours

Other Notable Work: Resident advisor for 1 semester, executive officer positions in a volunteer service club, biology/physics/psychology tutor for 1.5 years

LORs: 1 from my biomedical ethics professor, 1 from my neuroscience faculty advisor, 1 from my organic chemistry instructor, 1 from my volunteer coordinator at the hospital I current volunteer with, and hopefully 1 ED physician letter (my school does not have a committee letter)

Shadowing: 22.5 hours (with a neuroscience specialist); looking to shadow a primary care physician

Gap Year (2017-2018): Continue scribing in the ED, volunteering around the hospital, and pursue more shadowing opportunities and possibly a research volunteer program at a major research hospital.

So far, I will be applying to both of my in-state schools (University of Washington and Washington State University). I would like to field what schools could be in my reach (both MD and DO) and apply to about 20 - 30 schools.
