1. cGPA 3.46, sGPA 3.3
2. 506 (127, 128, 127, 124)
3. Michigan
4. Mexican-American/Chicano - URM
5. Top public state institution
6. Over 600 hours as a research assistant in an orthopaedic clinic. This included significant patient and physician interaction. Also over 200 hours as a clinical volunteer, directing hospital patients and visitors.
7. 300 hours of neuroscience research with only one poster out of it. The clinical research experience above also led to 4 poster presentations.
8. ~50 hours of shadowing, split evenly between emergency medicine and orthopedics.
9. ~100 hours of volunteer childcare but not the best, nor the most recent, experience.
10. Member of two clubs. Nothing else of particular note. I have also worked every summer of undergrad to make ends meet.
11. Honor roll for 3 semesters but not much else of note
My list is short right now and includes the following:
MSUCHM
Wayne St
Temple
Geisinger
Indiana
Loyola
I'm mostly curious to see if MD is a reasonable shot for this cycle or if I should take a gap year. Some other schools I have looked into include Georgetown, Drexel, and Quinnipiac. My biggest question is how far my URM status will get me, and if there are other schools that I might have a shot at despite my low stats. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
