I have a 3.5cgpa, 3.39sGPA and 515 MCAT (130, 128,129,128), along with the following ECs:
Medical Scribe (includes shadowing plastic surgeon and podiatrist) - currently ~ 500 hours, will be around 2400 hours by next year upon entry to medical school
General Science Tutor (job) ~ 2000hrs
Hospital volunteer (240 hrs)
Student Researcher ~ 1300 hours
Lab Technician at CC ~ 500 hrs
Lead Chemistry Tutor ~ 1000 hrs
fast food cashier & Server ~ 400 hrs
I went to a competitive undergrad (UCLA).
I am a reappliciant. I received one interview last year from keck but was not accepted. I did not have much medical experience and no shadowing, this year
i have been working as a scribing and through that job I have shadowed a lot ( i shadow 8 hours every tuesday and thursday, ~ 192 hours at this point ). I believe my clinical experience may be a strong point in my application this year whereas it was a weak point last year. I am also applying a lot earlier with more polished secondaries.
I am currently applying to the following 20 MD schools and 2 DO schools.
University of California, Davis, School of Medicine
Creighton University School of Medicine
Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell
California University of Science and Medicine-School of Medicine
University of California, Los Angeles David Geffen School of Medicine
Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California
Emory University School of Medicine
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth
Albany Medical College
New York Medical College
Georgetown University School of Medicine
Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine
Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University
Meharry Medical College
Drexel University College of Medicine
TCU and UNTHSC SOM
Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine
George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences
Tufts University School of Medicine
Western CA - DO
Touro CA - DO
Should I apply to more schools? If so which ones? I would like to apply to possibly 5 more MD schools and 1 more DO school. I am currently complete at about 14 of my MD schools. Thank you for your help!
