Hey guys, was just looking for some input on what I should do. I'm in the middle of a reapplication this cycle, since I have a potential red flag as a grade trend, I should definitely keep up the EC's just in case I need to reapply (and to keep me busy!)
I'm currently in school, aside from that, what is weak on my application? Do I need more clinical etc?
2 years of research (also continuing this this year)
-Enrolled in class that is another research project, will conduct experiments etc (though it is evolutionary biology)
8 week project as a math mentor to underserved kids (about 50 hours)
8 week project as a Chemistry Instructor to underserved kids (about 50 hours)
150 hours at Veterans Affairs Ambulatory center clinical volunteer (3 summers)
70 hours volunteering at a free clinic over summer (did patient histories etc)(I wanted to continue this this year but they don't need anymore help :/)
TPR MCAT instructor over this last summer (no availability to continue teaching during the year)
40 hours shadowing primary care private practice
40 hours shadowing multiple pediatric specialist and residents
Also created/hosted my own canned food drive over winter break 2 years ago.
(Also hobbies etc)
Aside from continuing research, do you think my clinical is lacking? Should I look for another clinical gig to do during the year? If not, I was thinking about joining the Red Cross Club (or something similar ) on campus. Just wondering what is lacking
Thanks!
