PA Resident (from rural area), ORM
GPA:
Undergrad Bioengineering from T50: Total 3.87, sGPA 3.88
Masters of Engineering from same school: total 3.94, sGPA 4.00
I have a heavy engineering emphasis in my app! Various research projects, and awards - what schools will look more favorable on this?
Current gap year job: Virtual reality consultant for neurosurgery department at local hospital (generate models for office visits, and assist intraoperatively as well)
MCAT: 506 (last june) --> 518 (04/2023) [131/125/130/132]
How should I go about low CARS score? It is below 10th percentile for schools I'm interested in with composite score in reach
Volunteering - 100 hours in Hospital (regular hospital volunteer - talk to patients and get them snacks sometimes)
Shadowing - 130 hours (various specialties, mostly pediatrics)
Patient Care: 2500+ hours as an EMT (some paid, some volunteer, some at an amusement park too)
Clinical research: 300+ (retrospective study using Epic and self-made database in cardiothoracic surgery outcomes)
Non-clinical Research: 1500+ (1 undergrad research project - no pubs, but won a national research award from the NIH for best tech for minority communities/health disparities, NSF REU summer research with a publication (listed as author #8)). I also have a first author publication about fishing and climate change.
Non-clinical volunteering: 200 (with low income and diverse communities)
Story: grew up in rural community and learned to be resourceful, which allowed me to tie in medicine with engineering projects for low income and other marginalized communities. i hope to serve as a bridge between tech innovation and medicine.
Can somebody please help me schools that seem like a good fit?
