GPA: 3.87
MCAT: 518 (131/130/129/128)
Residency: Florida, but I grew up in California.
Race: White
Undergrad: Jacksonville University
Clinical Experience: 200 hours working as a scribe in the ED currently, but I put in 1000 on the app since the app says to put how much you expect to receive not how much you currently have. I will have 1000 hours by august 2017.
Research Experience: None. Yes, I know I ****ed up.
Shadowing Experience: 12 hours with a Navy doc on the ship. 16 hours with a family practice. Both within the last month.
Non-Clinical Volunteering: 20 hours tutoring underprivileged kids. 200 hours in the Middle East with the Caravan For Democracy. Caravan For Democracy is not normal voluntourism, it's a competitive leadership/volunteering trip to Israel. 40 applicants were accepted from schools like Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Ohio State, and other good schools. all expenses were paid.
Extracurricular: Only freshman to ever get hired in the tutoring center. Was 2nd most popular tutor first semester working and managed to negotiate $9000 for the tutoring center to accommodate student veterans.
- Started my own tutoring company. Made over $20,000 dollars in revenue first year operating it and had 3 employees I managed at its peak. Allowed myself to be bought out 6 months ago so I could study for the MCAT.
- 3 years working as a Student Ambassador, was promoted to Presidential Ambassador last year.
- Attend Presidential Leadership Advisory Council where I was directly involved in the creation of the bike share program and the laundry reservation app.
- Currently Vice President of the Honors Program.
- Play piano semi-professionally (churches, weddings, corporate events).
- Archery
- Philosophy club
- Member of the Jacksonville University Sailing Team
- other stuff but I don't think it's really worth mentioning.

Awards: Like I said, Caravan For Democracy is a highly competitive leadership volunteering trip, not just a pay $4000 for meaningful experiences machine.
- Presidential Honors Scholarship, full ride scholarship to Jacksonville University.
- deans list/ presidents list for 3.5+ or 4.0 for every semester but I'm not sure if this is important enough to note.
