Graduated with an engineering degree, ~3.0 GPA
I'm in my third semester of my post-bac program at a state school. I'm sitting at 3.97 GPA so far after 31 credits. (re-took orgo2, 22 credits of upper level bio/upper level neuroscience, 3 credits of research, 3 credits for TA) I'm taking 13 hours of classes + 3 research + 2 TA credits, for total 18 hours this semester and don't really see a reason to get below 3.9 this semester. After next semester I expect to have ~50 credits of upper level bioscience/neuroscience with hopefully ~4.0 GPA. Currently I'm spending close to 30 hours a week in my lab and close to publishing my work soon.
Took the MCAT in May and got a 38P (12V/13B/13P), took one december 2009 and got a 28R that time.
Most of my ECs as a post-bac consists of TAing and research - I know medical experience is important but I wanted to show I can flourish in a classroom setting. Still, I just finished registering at a local hospital fir volunteer position starting next week and hopefully get some solid hours in.
As an undergrad, volunteered at a hospital on regular basis for all 4 years, full time for 1 summer, 2 years of DII sport, Habitat for 4 years, RA for 2 years, 2 years of Amnesty International
I've basically completed my application but still haven't submitted my application...I'm worried that if I re-apply next year it will look bad with such a quick turn around. What do you think?
