I am currently a junior at a state university in the midwest.
Major: BS Honors Biochemistry, with an Honors Notation
cGPA 3.75, sGPA 3.7
MCAT: PS 11 VR 9 BS 10 (30N)
By the end of this year my extracurricular activities will be this:
Research ~1.5 yr with possible publication
Hospice Volunteer ~2 yr (about 1.5 hr a week)
Shadowed a range of physicians ~50hr
Volunteered in pre-school classroom for underprivileged children ~1 yr
Hospital Volunteer ~100 hr (2 summers)
Volunteered at clinic ~1 semester
Volunteer at local charity race for the past few years
President of Honors Club at my university ~1yr (organized events for students and volunteer activities)
Worked at Lowe's for 2 summers (after high school and freshman yr of college)
--I may also do an ER volunteer program over the summer
My dilemma is that at my state university I meet EDP standards, which according to the director of admissions have a 95% acceptance rate, however I don't know if I would want to try my luck at some other schools too.
