I am so worried that my stats are not up to par with the competition. As the type of person who worries and stresses out about everything, I think I may be over doing it but some days I think I have a snow ball's chance in hell of getting into med school.
I'm not necessarily looking for reassurance that I'm not as bad as I think so much as that I have a chance to get accepted into med school.
Year - Junior
GPA - 3.46
- Have not yet taken MCAT (hoping to god it's a 30+)
- Am in the honors program in my private liberal arts uni
- My GPA took a major beating freshman year (straight b's first semester) but I'm since had a huge upward trend and am hoping for a 3.8-4.0 this semester.
EC
- I'm involved in research (may be getting published) that is in its second year
- I'm a member of the Honors Board
- Pre-med club
- Newspaper
- etc.
Volunteer
- Big Brother Big Sister (1 semester)
- icouldbe.org (1 year)
- Nursing home (6 months)
- etc.
Shadowing
- Shadowed my uncle for 40 hours (spine surgeon)
- Shadowing program in school three hours once a week for a semester
Extra
- I have a steady job
- I also work as an SI (like a paid TA) and tutor nursing students
So any thoughts? Any suggestions?
