Hello all ,
I am a re-applicant who did not get any interviews this past cycle (completed early Sept). I would really like help with a school list for DO and MD. I spoke to some people on admissions and I was told I did not have any red flags except for a low MCAT. They did not comment on PS (which I am re-writing) nor did they comment on the LOR (Obviously). I feel like I should have gotten at lease some interviews but my clinicals might have been weak last year.
Now for my current stats;
Male, Eastern European White immigrant, federal assistance as a child - NEW YORK
MCAT 509, chem/phys 125, Cars 127, Bio 129, Soc 128
Bio Major 3.6 GPA (sGPA about the same)
EC:
200+ hours in a clinic doing community outreach and working with patients and doctors directly including some public health studies
100+ hours in Emergency Dept.
60+ hours Peds Doc shadowing in a clinic
1000+ hours over 2.5 years in my schools EMS squad.
3.5 years of Research exp in two different labs
---presented 4 posters, 2 of which national conferences
50+ hours woking with kids at a Housing project community center for after school
50+ hours teaching Health Ed workshops at title 1 High schools
~50 hours volunteering on a neurosurgery floor
Exec position on Bio club and EMS squad
Manager at a retail store, worked for 7 years , started as sales person. (worked since age of 16)
Please advice me on a school list or any other information you can share. if @Goro or @LizzyM can help out it would be swell, I know how busy you are. Thank You all in advance during this hectic time =)
