So I'm getting things ready to reapply this comming year, and I don't have anything new to add.
Wyoming applicant
Caucasian, Male
31-M MCAT (V11, PS9, B11) (2nd time around) first time I got a 25-O
GPAs: 3.7
GPA:3.75
No research experiance
250 hours shadowing (family practice/ENT)
150 hours clinical expericane (working with a MA)
6 week Volunteer clinical mission in Peru
2 year service/proselytizing mission in Microneisa
3 years Pyrotechnics management (2 weeks a year)
Owned and operated own window washing buisness for 2 summers
Installed alarm systems for a summer in the Bronx.
This last year I applied late (September 28th) to 5 schools.
University of Washington (interviewed rejected)
Loma Linda (recieved secondary/rejected)
University Arizona-Phoenix (Interviewed rejected)
University of Arizona-Tucson (Interviewed... pending)-->but last acceptance day has already passed so it is either waitlist or rejection.
University of Nevada (interviewed/waitlisted (bottom 1/3))
So out of 5 schools I got 4 interviews. Is this a fluke? If I apply again more broadly (~30 schools) mostly lower teir private schools can I send in essentially the same application?
Also what kind of experiance should I be getting concurent to applying?
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Would it be worthwile to get EMT certified
Should I shadow more?
ShouldI try and get research somewhere?
What will helpme most and is it alright to send in basically the same AMCAS application?
