Hi everyone!
After evaluating my options, I'm really hoping to attend a formal post bacc program. I know that I'm late in the game for early admissions and a lot of programs call for high school SAT scores/ transcripts and I'm worried that I won't have a shot getting in if those are taken into consideration. Here are my stats:
High school GPA: 3.0 - took AP chem, AP bio, received C grades due to family circumstances. Had some great semesters (3.8 gpa) and some not so great semesters (1.6 gpa, but my weighted gpa would be higher)
SAT: 1810
College:
Business Management Degree: 3.8 GPA
Taken two bio courses for med school plus labs: 4.0 GPA
Graduated magna cum laude, top 15% of class, with honors.
Extra Curricular:
-Director of Student Events on Student Government Association
-President of Students for Social Justice club
-Director of Publicity, Honors Council
-Acquisitions Editor, Honor's Newsletter
-Presented a paper at my college's academic symposium
-Research student at Mass General, I have two papers published, with seven pending publications in scientific journals (since July 2014)
-Had a poster presented at the Radiological Society of North America conference
-Worked with Harvard Business School in launching a pilot costing program at Mass General.
-Volunteered at Dana Farber cancer institute : 2 years
-Volunteered at St. Franciscan's children's hospital : 1 year
-Worked at a suicide hotline : 3 years
-Around 100 hours of physician shadowing experience
And I've done other various internships that aren't really related to medicine.
Thank you guys!
