I'm terrified. I'm in this alone, and I feel like I don't have enough community service hours!
Rural and Underserved birthplace and residence. West Virginia
Degree: Chemistry, State University
MCAT: 512
GPA: 3.68 BCPM, 4.0 AO, 3.77 Total
Clinical Volunteer: 104 hours at hospital, but counting on continuing through this fall
Non-Clinical Volunteer: 16 hours doing STEM activities for campus, 45 over three years judging as Alumni for SkillsUSA
Shadowing: 60 hours family clinic
Research: 120 hours, not curing cancer though, just profs project
Paid Employment: 2000+ hours at McDonalds and Walmart
No huge leadership roles just basic involvement with American Chemical Society Club
Applied to: WVU, Duke, Chapel Hill, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Case Western Reserve, Brown, Wake Forest, Quinniapac, VA Commonwealth and VA Tech Carillion
I have some great essays and drew from experiences traveling to south asia to met my husband's family, and on some was able to talk about the difficulty of leaving a small town and forging my own path. But I just feel like my app is lackluster. Will they understand that having to work consumed a lot of my time??
Have I just wasted a thousand dollars applying?? Plus I'm still waiting on this doc to send my LOR and my apps are getting cold!??
