Ok, last time for me starting a thread here.
3.49 cgpa, 3.70 sgpa, 39Q MCAT, NC resident
Completed undergrad with a 3.21, took 6 years off working, 2 years post-bacc (including most prereqs) at 4.0.
-Research 1.5 years with 3 presentations and a pub getting ready to be submitted (once published I'll send in an update letter)
-Most of my volunteering is in hospitals, about 350 hours in two different EDs and in surgery.
-About 50 hours shadowing across several specialties
-Standard amount of club involvement, leadership, sports, etc.
School list I have at this point (* is already on AMCAS, adding the others soon)
*Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
*Brown
Dartmouth
*Ohio State
Pitt
Virginia
Case
*UNC
*Tufts
SUNY Upstate
*Wake Forest
*Boston University
Rosalind Franklin
Jefferson
*Penn State
*Vermont
Drexel
*Tulane
*ECU
I'd like to stay on the East Coast, N. Carolina or north of here. The ones that don't meet this criteria are schools I had a particular interest in. Am I broad enough? Or should I trade some of the more upper schools for schools such as NYMC or Albany?
Thanks for any input!
