Hi there!
My wife is re-applying to MD programs this cycle after applying very late in 2020-21 cycle and not really having good direction or plan... . Here is what we have right now, am I'm a little neurotic when it comes to worrying about acceptances. She isn't as much lol.
Cumulative GPA: 3.90
BCPM GPA: 3.98
note: These were calculated from 2020-2021 cycle, she has taken 1 more class (A-) since then so these might dip a tiny, tiny bit. Still waiting for verification this time around
MCAT Scores: 515 (129/126/131/129) taken May 2022, 503 (125, 122, 128, 128) taken in 2020
State of Residence: Ohio
Ethnicity: Asian
Undergraduate Institution: Large Public University in Southeast US
Clinical Experience: ~5000hrs as a certified MA (internal med) while finishing undergrad, ~200hrs internship during MA program in cardiology
Research Experience: ~4000hrs post-graduate gut microbe research, 1 first author pub, and 2 co-author pubs with a 3rd in preparation. A poster presentation as well as a regional conference
Shadowing: ~30hrs in urology surgery and ~20hrs in neurology, plans to shadow more this summer
Non-clinical volunteering: ~80hrs total, all at clinical sites but doing non-clinical tasks (packaging food, running mail, visiting with patients, etc.)
Other activities: Limited with regard to application applicability, mostly awards. Received award for most outstanding student in MA program for displaying leadership and helping classmates. Another merit based scholarship and award based on research performance. Spends a lot of time hiking and with family.
Other: She is a 1st generation high school graduate from a poor socio-economic status (3rd world country immigrant/refugees) I don't know how much that matters, but I think it's at least some what relevant.
