Ok, so I have made a list of schools to maybe apply to, any advice on ones to add or cut out will be appreciated.
- MA Resident, female (non minority)
- cGPA-3.8, sGPA -3.8
- MCAT (2013)- 26, MCAT (2014) 31 (11V/10PS/10BS)
- Work in a blood transfusion lab full time for 3 years after graduating with a bachelors in medical lab science so many clinical hours
-Over 200 hours volunteering in hospital
- religious education teacher for 2 years
- mentor for middle school science fair project, mentor for future students at college. mentor for grade school
- tutor for genetics and chemistry
- 2 years college level athletics (with awards for all-scholastic teams)
- mentor for marathon team raising money for cancer research, (avid runner)
- work as a lifeguard
-work as a certified nursing assistant
- various other volunteering
- no research and should have decent letters of recommendation nothing stellar
-approx 30 hours shadowing a couple of different doctors
1. Umass Medical School
2. BU
3. Tufts
4. Frank H. Netter MD School of medicine at Quinnipiac
5. Drexel
6. Jefferson
7. Cooper Medical School
8. Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University
9. Loyola
10. Temple
11. The Commonwealth Medical College
12. The Warren Alpert School of Brown University
13. University of Vermont
14. Eastern Virginia Medical School
15. Virginia Commonwealth
16. Marshall University
17. Tulane
18. George Washington
DO Schools
1. Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
2. Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine
3. University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine
Anyone have any idea about what Umass Medical School likes in an application? This is my top school and my MCAT scores are slightly lower than their average so I was not sure if there was anything else I could add to my app to make it more appealing to specifically them.
Also does anyone know how detrimental having to retake the MCAT and only improving from a 26 to a 31 will be?
Any Help is Appreciated!!!!!
