Hey guys, you know the drill...
I just finished me junior year. I have a low gpa (3.4 cumulative, 3.2 science) with a big upward trend (3.0-3.2 first two years, 3.6 this year) and a 31 MCAT. I'm a NY resident, UB would be my 1st choice dream school since it's close to home. I go to GWU for undergrad with a history and bio double major.
I have really good LORs from a PhD University Professor and others. My PS I think is really solid. I did 3 summers of chart review research, 6 months of clinical ER research, and a month of lab work at a pharmaceutical company. During my last 3 summers, I also worked part time (30 hours a week) at a local Wegmans grocery store where I think (hope) I developed solid people skills. Though I didn't volunteer much in college, I did 1000+ hours of volunteering throughout high school. Also, though I never officially shadowed a doctor, I have worked at both of my parent's doctors offices since I was 14 and have followed them around on rounds hundreds of times. I was also a founding father of a fraternity on campus and have had a serious leadership / executive position for the last 3 years.
Whew that was a lot of info. I am looking to get into any MD or DO school, I don't really care which. Which schools should I look at applying to? I'm almost done with my AMCAS at this point.
