Hi everyone,
This is my first post on SDN but I have been a long time lurker for quite some time. I am coming up with a list of schools to apply to in a few months and would appreciate your insight on which schools I should add.
Here is some information about me:
cGPA: 3.66 MCAT: 514
- graduating early from a well-known university with strong science and pre-med departments
- member of honors college, completing an honors thesis that studies prejudicial behavior with a faculty member outside of my major
- pursuing a Spanish minor, have done very well in all Spanish courses and would consider myself proficient in reading, writing, speaking
- Volunteering: long-term and consistent volunteering at an affordable health clinic in my city for people who do not have insurance; long-term and consistent volunteering at a mental health therapeutic nursery in my city for children who grow up in poverty or have difficult lives at home. Both of these experiences have been very influential in my life. Also volunteered at a retirement home, we were supposed to just play bingo with them but I thought they needed more interaction so I made holiday cards and decorations and went door to door and delivered them as holidays arose.
- Leadership experience: I have lead freshman welcome week at my college for 2 years and have mentored freshman for 2 years. I was a committee member in my pre-health organization and the following year I became a member of the executive board.
- Research experience: I am a published author and am continuing to do research in another lab at my university. Our results were very good and are expected to be significant in the field. If we publish I will be named as an author.
- Shadowing experience: I have completed long term shadowing with both a family practice doctor (MD) and a pediatrician (DO); will continue looking for shadowing opportunities
- Work Experience: I worked in a restaurant my first year of college. Over the summer, I also worked at a care center for children with severe special needs.
Sorry I just realized that part got very long! My apologies in advance.
Anyway my school list so far: Touro CA, PCOM, Midwestern Chicago, NYITCOM, Kansas City University COM. Are there other schools I should consider or anything else I am missing? Thank you in advance!
