I would very much appreciate what you guys think my chances are and just general opinions.
Background:
-23 year old male Biology major from California. Attended community college and UCSB. Father is east indian descent. Mother is mostly white but is around 1/4-1/8 native american. I am trying to get her to get her records of this so I can legally put that I am at least 1/8 native american. I plan to apply in June 2017 for both MD and DO schools. I am unsure on what MD schools I can qualify and I am confident that I will qualify for DO schools.
Academics:
-Recently took the MCAT and scored a 510 with a 129(P/C), 124(verbal =[...), 129(Bio), 128 (psych)
-Overall GPA is 3.55 and science GPA is 3.67 with a large upward trend. Took stats in freshman year failed and retook with an A so that might affect my GPA for MD schools. Received a W in physics sophomore year and retook and got an A
Letters of Rec. from 2 science teachers, 1 ER volunteer coordinator, 2 physician LOR (1 DO, 1 MD)
Research:
-Did about 9 months of research in a biological lab in college but but no papers published. Hopefully going to start a research for a professor at another UC in northern California.
Clinical Experience:
2000+ hours as an ER scribe at a very busy hospital in the Bay Area
50 hours of shadowing (can increase this number if need be)
Volunteering and Extra Activities :
-Around 350 hours of ER volunteering
- 1 Foreign aid trip to central america
-several other non medical volunteer activities such as Red Cross and volunteering for a local beach community clean up weekly
-Tutoring Intro Biology at my college and Community college
-Helped start a social media account that has turned into a business
-Extensive travel all over the world that has aided to my growth as a person
