Hey, I am a pre medical student about to go into their senior year. However, I am taking an extra semester to get dual degrees (BS- Biology, BA-Psychology). I will be graduating and applying to medical school in the fall of 2013. I have yet to take the MCAT but have started
to prepare for it a little (couple hours per week) this summer. I will be studying for it a lot next semester in hopes of taking it in April 2013.
3.6 cGPA, 3.4s GPA
I am just wondering what schools would seem like a good fit for me to apply to and/or what MCAT score I should be shooting for.
My extracurriculars are as follows:
- Fraternity with multiple leadership experience (since freshman year)
- Volunteering at hospital (~200 hours)
- Shadowing (60 hours) (likely to add 40 more hours in next year)
- Research lab since sophomore year (partime in school year/full time in the summer)(publications)
- 3 great letters of rec (one former med school prof, one DO I know very well, one from former prof)
- hope to get more volunteering hours in the next year
Schools on my list are as follows (in order of interest):
1) University of Missouri (in-state)
2) St. Louis University
3) Creighton
4) Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences (DO)
5) A.T. Stills - Kirksville, MO (DO)
What are some more schools that I should be thinking of / what more can I do?
