re-applicant
- submitted AMCAS towards end of September and ended up not finishing secondaries for most of the schools
UC graduate (top 25 undergrad), molecular bio major
AMCAS cGPA 3.72 AMCAS BCPM GPA 3.67 (overall upward trend; lowest grade B)
MCAT 31 (PS12 VR9 BS 10) and just re-took it last month, expect it to go up at least by 2. Hopefully.
minimal ECs
- club sports
- one publication from high school
- two research experiences during summers
- 200+ hours volunteering in different hospitals
- 90 hours shadowing/serving as an assistant in one specialty I'm interested in
- part-time job teaching high school kids
in terms of residency, I'm not sure.
I went to high school in Iowa, went to college in CA, and now I'm in NJ, working part-time since Feb
my parents are not a permanent resident anywhere (they are out of country) and my family doesn't have a house in the U.S.. - so i mostly looked for private schools
Here's the list:
Tufts
BU
George Washington
Georgetown
Howard
Rush
Rosalind Franklin
Baylor
UCSD
UCI
UCLA
USC
Rutgers NJMS
Rutgers - RWJ
Jefferson
Drexel
New York Medical College
SUNY Upstate
SUNY Downstate
Stony Brook
It might be a little top-heavy. please let me know if it is. the most important factor for me is the location I really want to go back to CA so I added some Cali schools but I'm not sure if I'll have a chance. (I took out Riverside and Davis since they seem to accept only instate people) I also want go back to urban area so I added DC, philadelphia, boston, chicago, and NY schools. Is there any good places to live other than those cities? Is there any school that I should take out or add?
Thanks! Appreciate your help!
