Hi all,
This is my first post on these forums, glad to be here. I have been reading threads on here over the past few months and decided that it's my time to ask a few questions.
Below is a quick summary of my standing:
Obviously, this fits a lot of the characteristics for prospective applicants, so I wanted to gather more color on what I need to do in order to be a competent applicant for a "career changer" post-bacc such as Bryn Mawr, Columbia, etc. Here is what I've gathered:
I think I am missing several other factors here...would anyone care to help? Some questions I have are below:
This is my first post on these forums, glad to be here. I have been reading threads on here over the past few months and decided that it's my time to ask a few questions.
Below is a quick summary of my standing:
- Currently working in the Finance industry with a BBA in Finance (3.65 GPA)
- Have completed minimal science courses (Introductory Physics, Calculus in High School, that's about it)
- Planning on pursuing a "career changer" post-bacc
- Did not sit for the MCAT
Obviously, this fits a lot of the characteristics for prospective applicants, so I wanted to gather more color on what I need to do in order to be a competent applicant for a "career changer" post-bacc such as Bryn Mawr, Columbia, etc. Here is what I've gathered:
- Acquire volunteer experience at a hospital (which I aim to begin this year)
- Extracurricular activities (this one is interesting, most of my extracurriculars in college were not medicine-related, does this matter? I was part of two honor societies as well as a Financial Leadership Program)
- Letters of recommendations from hospital that I am volunteering at
I think I am missing several other factors here...would anyone care to help? Some questions I have are below:
- What are the minimum volunteering hours I should have under my belt?
- What extracurriculars should I get involved in that will help my application be more competent?
- What else can I do to be a more competent applicant to these "career changer" post-baccs?
- Is my GPA competent enough for these post-baccs? (3.65)
