Florida resident
Attended top 50 private university-Double major Marine Science/Biochemistry/Molecular Biology minor in Geology
3.76 GPA with upward trend. Does not include two A's in Organic taken in summer at another university. Had severe case of infectious mono which affected academic performance freshman year. GPA 4.0 last semester. Graduated with departmental honors.
MCAT 517 131/129/129/128
Research-Two semesters and one summer of genetic research on marine life at my university-many hundreds of hours. Partner left at a critical time, and I was forced to write the thesis myself.
Currently working full time in research lab run by Chairman of Biology Dept at my University. Project is investigating on/off switches in embryonic development.
Shadowing-little over 100 hours-internal medicine, emergency room, Dermatology
Volunteering-30 hours in food pantry. Working on setting up more clinical and non clinical volunteering. I was not in pre med track, so I have had to set all this up on my own.
Work history- worked two summers for a construction company-demolition work
Schools I'm interested in
All Florida schools- most interested in Miller - University Miami
Boston University (legacy) don't know if that helps
Tufts
Brown
UVa (legacy)
Dartmouth
U Mass
Tulane
UCSD
UCLA
USC
UC Irvine
I decided I wanted to go to Med School after I graduated, so I'm behind in shadowing and volunteering. I didn't join any organizations to puff up my resume' like some people I know did.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback. I get the feeling there are some very knowledgable people on this site. Thanks in advance.
