I am a current Nebraska resident and NOT a URM and had planned on going to UNMC here in Nebraska but after getting my MCAT back, I am not sure if I have a shot. I also wanted to apply EDP but my MCAT was a 505 (127,123,127,128). I originally had my mind made up on MD but would also like help compiling a list of MD and DO that are my best chances as money will be tight. My extracurriculars are as follows:
-GPA: c: 3.89 s:3.8
-Total of 2,700 research hours split between a genetics lab and a neuropharmacology lab (2 posters thus far in neuro lab)
-Paid clinical experience by working as a med aid in the state prison ~ 300 hours
-500 hours of Chemistry 109 TA and Organic Chemistry I TA
-Muscular Dystrophy Association Summer camp counselor of 2 years - 288 volunteer hours
-Camp Munro summer volunteer (camp for kids with disabilities)- 40 hours
-various community service hours ~ 75h hours
- MD/ 8 hours DO job shadowing ~ 60 hours
-Free Medical Clinic Volunteer ~50 hours
-My hobbies are intramural sports on campus every year as well as being super into fitness as I have been working out for 5 years.
I understand from the MSAR that UNMC is right around averaging a 510 MCAT so I do not know if it is worth my time to apply there or not. I have also thought about applying Creighton but I am afraid that the 123 in cars will cause me the issues. All the insight would be much appreciated!
