Hi, please don't quote this.
Current school list:
- GPA/sGPA: around 3.9
- MCAT: 100th percentile
- I'm from a midwestern state with one public medical school
- Race/ethnicity: white
- Undergraduate institution: large public school
- Clinical experience: 275 hours hospital volunteering
- Research experience: about 4500 hours combined from undergrad and gap year in the same biology lab - no publications
- Shadowing: 30 hours, primary care (going to try to get up to 40-50 before June)
- Non-clinical volunteering: over 300 hours with multiple organizations
- Other: I have a hobby that I'm planning on mentioning. I'm also going to try doing something different (not research) for my current gap/application year
- Relevant honors or awards: some merit scholarships and research funding from undergrad
- Other: I'm not sure if I will include a letter from my PI in my application. He doesn't think I've performed as well as I could have during my gap year and now I'm leaving the lab because my contract is up and I want to do something else. Do you think it's a big problem to have no letter from him? My other letters are solid, and I can get one from a volunteer coordinator from this year to have one that's more recent.
