Hi everyone! I really appreciate any advice on med schools; the pre-med advising committee at my university has not been great for creating a medical school list.

Volunteer/Research
- Timmy Global Health: Went on medical brigade to Guatemala and provided free healthcare to impoverished communities. Met with team members throughout the year to fundraise for purchase of medical supplies.
- Service trip to Natchez, MS: Participated for two consecutive years in service trip to an all-black early learning center in Natchez. Met weekly for a year to plan fundraising activities.
- Dorchester House Multi-Service Center: volunteered weekly for a year as a patient facilitator.
- Gifford Cat Shelter: volunteered at the cat shelter every Saturday for a year.
- Center for Maternal Infantile Studies: interned for a month at clinic that provides medical attention to HIV positive women who are pregnant or at risk of becoming pregnant.
Extracurriculars
- Splash program: gives the opportunity for undergraduates to teach classes to high school students on any subject of their liking. Taught a total of 5 classes in my 2 years with the program. Held a leadership role in the e-board for a year.
- Tutors for all at Codman Academy Charter Public: tutored high school sophomores in Physics and Math every Saturday for a semester. Prepared lesson plans and submitted progress for them.
- West End House Boys and Girls Club: After school program for kids up to 18 years of age. I worked as the front desk administrator and membership assistant.
- Senior mentor of pre-medical society: Advised two pre-med freshmen throughout the whole year on course planning, volunteering opportunities, summer internships, etc.
For the last three semesters of college, I had a GPA trend of around 3.78. I'm currently doing mental health research in the Latino community and I'm interested in getting more involved with it as I pursue my medical degree. Below is the list of medical schools I'm currently applying to.

Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Boston University School of Medicine
Drexel University College of Medicine
George Washington University
Georgetown
Keck School of Med of Southern California
Mt. Sinai School of Medicine
