So here goes...
I graduated college in May 2008 with a BS degree in bioengineering and a 3.55 gpa. I have no clue what my BCPM gpa is. I did get a C in 2nd semester physics, but it was significantly harder because it was tailored towards engineering students. I also got a C in ochem I, but I retook it and got an A. The rest were A's and B's.
Here is the stuff I was/am involved in:
- almost 2 years of research during undergrad, but it was more engineering/water science/microbiology and I wasn't published
- a summer of biomedical engineering research at UW Madison
- two summers working with developmentally disabled kids (I want to go into pediatrics)
- about 6 or 7 months volunteering in the peds unit of a hospital
- I currently volunteer in a clinic that provides low-cost healthcare to the underserved community. I volunteer in the pharmacy.
- I currently work for a company that uses cadavers to train surgeons and other medical professionals. I have gotten to observe several surgeries (mainly orthopedic and spinal) and have gotten to help procure some body parts
I am also a URM female (but I DON'T want this to be the only reason that I get in). I'm taking the MCAT in May and hopefully I can score at least a 30. I should actually be studying right now...
Anyhow, with all this being said, what are my chances?
