I'm looking for a little bit of realistic advice on my application statistics. They are as follows:
ksmajmudar - 3.27 cGPA, 3.06 sGPA, 32Q MCAT
I didn't do so hot in my GPA in my first year (and unfortunately, one semester my junior year). Realized that I needed to get serious and got 3.9 GPA's both semesters senior year with science-heavy course-loads (systems physiology, microbiology, advanced cell biology, genetics, pharmacology).
ECs:
10-day shadowing in Dallas Trauma Center ER (12 hour shifts x 10 days = 120 hours)
EMT for a year and a half between high school and college
6-week shadowing of orthopedic surgeon
Research in pharmacology (presented work at 105th international statistical mechanics conference)
Research internship at a biotech facility on a cancer vaccine
Tons of leadership in a philanthropy-based fraternity
Lead singer and guitarist for a band touring through NYC
Performed french horn at carnegie, avery fischer hall
Thoughts? Critiques? Places I should apply to? (I'm a NJ resident, so UMDNJ-SOM is obviously top pick for me). I'm obviously applying to more DO schools than MD, but I was just wondering if MD schools will even glance at me.
Thank you!
