Hello all,
Thank you in advance for your help – it is very appreciated. I really just want to go to a medical school in the contiguous US. I don't care too much about ranking.
1. 3.73 cGPA, 3.68sGPA
2. 515 (131/124/131/129) a 124 in CARS worries me, but I know the 515 is what will keep me out of top 20s, not the CARS
3. Residency: CA (CT born and raised, but became a California resident after financial independence, so I am applying as CA res, but I still have strong ties to family in CT).
4. ORM-white. SES Disadvantaged: Yes, EO2
5. Institution: top public school in the US
6. Clinical Experience:
1364 hrs as an RBT with autistic children (paid)
150 hrs with physical therapist as a volunteer (volunteer)
7. Research in an orthopedic biomechanics lab for 3 years
960 hrs, no pubs, an honors thesis was approved though
8. Shadowing: 106 hrs
50 hrs ortho
26 hrs pediatrics
30 hrs OBGYN
9. Non clinical volunteering:
Founded a non-profit to promote science in marginalized communities 1830hrs (semifinalist at a national conference for this)
Coaching a sport - 192hrs
Premed organization - 660 hrs
Red cross - 128hrs
Co-founded tutoring service at local community college 224 hrs
10. ECs:
4 years on a sports team - captain 1152 hrs
11. Honors/Awards:
Honors in Major - honors thesis
Semi-finalist at the Clinton Global Initiative for my non-profit
Here is my current list, which is at 37. I want to whittle it down to 35.
If any of you experts out there have suggestions of what schools to take out, substitute, or add, please let me know!
*Edited to fit format better.
