Its time for me to meet with my premed committee and submit a list of schools. Here is my tentative list and stats. Any suggestions would be great. I'm looking at rural medicine, but also joining the military.
State University
cGPA: 3.99
sGPA: 4.0
MCAT 523
Volunteering:
100 hrs at an outpatient wound clinic in underserved area.
2 years of 3.5 hrs/week volunteering with disabled children helping with physical activity.
80 hrs at a local BGC
I'll also be graduating and taking a year in the AmeriCorps (most likely).
Work:
Supplemental Instruction Leader for a Physics course (1 term- designed my own activities and lead six different groups for one hour a week, total of 12 hours a week working).
Learning Assistant for a Biology Course (1 term - basically running in class activities).
Farm Work - As long as I can remember really. Normally 70-100 hours a week in the summers.
College Ambassador - Leadership position helping with undergraduate recruitment, interfacing with alumni and prospective students. Really varies what I do, as do the hours. Anywhere from a low of 3 hours in a week, to spending all week out of state for this job.
Research:
Cancer Biology, 2 years, approximately 20 hours/week this last year, however it was only approximately 10 before that. I probably wont be listed as an author in any publications by the time I graduate because my work is based off another's thesis work that hasn't been published (will be soon), so the work I'm doing has to wait until that happens to be published.
Shadowing:
45 hrs ER Doc
10 hrs Pediatrician in underserved area
Current School List:
OHSU
Stanford
University of North Dakota
University of Colorado
University of Kansas
University of Michigan – Ann Arbor
University of Washington
University of Wisconsin
Vanderbilt – M.D./M/Ed.
Albert Einstein
Icahn School of Medicine
Washington University in St. Louis
UC Davis
UC SF
UC SD
UCLA
UC Irvine
Columbia University – Columbia-Basset rural program
Dartmouth – Giesel Rural Health Scholars
Mayo
Any that I should take off or add? Any good safety schools? I'm not from California but I would like to stay on the West Coast (not opposed to leaving here though). I would like to have a shorter list though, I'm pretty much out of money at this point and I don't want to take on undue debt while in AmeriCorps.
