I am currently a junior and I will apply at the end of my senior year (so I am taking a gap year). I expect my science GPA to be a 3.57 and overall gpa ot be a 3.68 when I apply.
MCAT: 31
I am also an Illinois resident.
Extra currics:
Pre-health club (3 years by the time I graduate) w/ 2 years in a leadership role. I was responsible for planning events and keeping track of the activity of 100+ members.
Community service club (3 years by graduation) ~1 hour a week
Work on campus (2 years by graduation) ~ 6 hours a week
Minor roles with another club (2 years by graduation)
Volunteered at a hospital over the summers. (3 summers by the time I graduate--9 months)
Research: I am starting now so I will have 3 semester by the time I graduate. I am choosing between an infant cognition lab (just have to jot down data) vs a "real science lab" --will one look better than the other?
Shadowed for 50ish hours with (MDs and DOs). I will have a DO letter of rec.
Also can I apply to SIU if I go to college near it (hour away) but I am from Chicago?
