Hello -
I am a few years post graduation, having worked in academic science since my junior year. Intended for a career in research, but I've decided I want to make the switch to medicine. I don't think that quite qualifies me as 'non-trad', but correct me if I am wrong. My goal is to stay in NYC (sig. other, family, life).
So... how do I look?
cGPA 3.8, sGPA3.7
MCAT: practice tested in mid-30s, awaiting May 12 results
4+ yrs research experience/lab management (developmental genetics - basic research, but much experience training others, managing personnel, general 'lab stewardship', in addition to benchwork, at CUMC in Manhattan)
150+ hrs clinical volunteering - telemetry floor at neighborhood hospital, working w CHF pts, educating about diet/lifestyle/meds, helping nurses etc
EC: writing/poetry credentials, published, curated reading series, shown work at MoMA in Manhattan
Specifically (solely?) interested in SUNY Downstate - want to focus on clinical experience, like working in Brooklyn, appreciate in-state tuition vs other city schools.
Thoughts? Would appreciate input.
Thanks all!
