Short background:
Spent 4 years in the Air Force and 4 years as a Firefighter/Medic before deciding to go to med school.
Went to a large state university on the west coast for undergrad, did okay and graduated with a 3.5 GPA.
Went to a private research university on the east coast for grad school, did well and graduated with a 3.9 GPA.
Attended a well regarded med school in the midwest on a scholarship before matching into EM at my top choice.
A few people have asked me to do this recently and I’ve finally got some free time this month. As far as experience with medical school admissions, I worked extensively with our adcom during med school including organizing pre-interview socials, leading hospital tours, and conducting interviews. I’ll try to be as helpful as I can, however, realize that some of my info is already out of date or will soon be within the next few years. Anywho, hoping to give back to SDN since it’s helped me a lot over the years.
