Hi folks: I would really appreciate any guidance that people have about MD/PhD selectiveness and where I stand. According to the stickied post, I'm "Excellent" in MCAT score, and "Good" in GPA and research (four continuous years? really??).
Numbers:
3.77 GPA @ Ivy; 3.70 science
Upward trend (first three semesters: 3.3, 3.5, 3.7; rest: 3.90)
38Q MCAT (13/13/12V)
Research:
Two "summer experiences" after freshman and sophomore years
Major research experience from start of junior year through end of senior year (~20 months); 2nd author publication
Doing research now (since January -- I'm two years out of school now)
Activities:
3 years volunteering around patients
Captain of club athletic team
Teaching assistant
etc...
Current list, all MD/PhD (20 ... whyyyy??!?):
Washington
Stanford
Harvard
Michigan
University of Washington
Hopkins
Dartmouth
UCLA
Penn
Case Western
Emory
U Chicago
Yale
UCSF
Vanderbilt
Wash University St. Louis
Duke
UCSD
UC Denver
UNC
Enough mid-level schools? Too ambitious? I would love to hear what people's experiences have been.
Thanks very much!
