Hi guys! With June 1st being a couple days away, I would like some advice from you guys about my school list and I've put some info about me below if it helps.
Resident of VA
School: Virginia Tech, Biochemistry
GPA: 3.67 overall, 3.45-3.50 science
DAT: Taking it on June 28th
Shadowing: 74 hours general, 30 pediatric
Research: ~500 hours, with 2 presentations, no publications
EC:
Leadership:
Founder and President of Foundations of International Medical Relief for Children (FIMRC) at VT Fall 2016 to present, 42 members, held fundraising events for projects abroad, relay for life and did volunteering events around the community
College of Science, Dean's Leadership Council: speak to students interested in joining COS at VT. Basically a lot of public speaking, talking about what i've done and working with the COS and the dean to make improvements etc.
Mentoring for College Mentors for Kids (3 hrs a week for a school year)
New member chairman for my sorority
Other:
Pre-dental club, AED (pre-health club), Biochemistry club, tutored student athletes in chemistry and math (40 hours)
Volunteering abroad: With FIMRC for two months in Peru which included clinical exposure to different health fields as well as working with community to promote public health
School List:
1. VCU
2. Maryland
3. Louisville
4. Temple
5. Boston
6. Pittsburgh
Maybes: Nova, LECOM, Tufts, Ohio State, Kentucky, USC
I would like to apply to 10-12 schools so I need to add more schools to the list. I would like to go to a school where they are known for dentists coming out feeling prepared with their hand skills but any school I have a chance at would be great! Also, I'm really big on working with underserved populations and I would like to have the opportunity to travel abroad (I feel that most schools offer that). Also what DAT score should I aim for with my GPA?
Thank you!
