Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a WAMC for MD/DO schools and help with my school list. Below are my stats/app breakdown:

1. cGPA and sGPA as calculated by AMCAS or AACOMAS

cGPA: 3.61
sGPA: 3.60

1. MCAT score(s) and breakdown

515 (128/127/130/130)

1. State of residence or country of citizenship (if non-US)

Maryland

1. Ethnicity and/or race

ORM

1. Undergraduate institution or category

Big state school

1. Clinical experience (volunteer and non-volunteer)

Hospital post-surgical patient care volunteer/emergency department volunteer (100 hours)
Pop-up clinic work around the east coast for the uninsured (200 hours, projected for more this year)

1. Research experience and productivity

Basic Science Lab 1 (675 hours) - 1 publication

Basic Science Lab 2 (500 hours) - no pubs

1. Shadowing experience and specialties represented

300 hours in pediatrics/adolescent medicine

1. Non-clinical volunteering

Local food distribution network for underserved area (100 hours)
Tech literacy nonprofit for underserved (250 hours)

1. Other extracurricular activities (including athletics, military service, gap year activities, leadership, teaching, etc)

Club co-president (1000 hours) - created several service initiatives, built from ground up - by far most important experience
Chemistry TA (200 hours) - held office hours, taught lab, graded exams/labs

1. Relevant honors or awards

One of 15 student organizations campus-wide to be awarded $500 grant for club
Deans list after freshman year

1. Anything else not listed you think might be important

Upward trend from freshman year (had ~3.1 end of freshman year)
Gap year will hopefully be spent doing clinical research (potential for posters/pubs)
Strong overall focus on helping underserved populations
