- Hi everyone, I already submitted my primary, so hopefully this is allowed. I am a reapplicant so I guess I am just nervous about this year. I made my application better with more ECs and I was better at showing my motivation in writing (last time it was really bare bones passion). I started at about 20 schools, but it snowballed as I pre-wrote secondaries and got more paychecks.
- 3.61 cGPA and 3.58 sGPA
- 518 MCAT
- Maryland resident (hopefully not the only MD in my life)
- ORM
- Clinical experience: ~150 Hours in hospital volunteering plus a relatively new full time job in clinical education (simulation and the like. Hopefully it counts)
- ~300 hours research in two labs in undergrad. Includes wet lab experience, but more bioinformatics. No pubs.
- ~40 hours shadowing
- non-clinical volunteering: five years of community mentoring program (like boy scouts but not quite) AND about 100 hours in clerical work for Emergency Management office in a hospital.
- Other: five years in fast food including several years as a director PLUS three seasons as track coach for a local high school
- Relevant honors or awards: the usual grade based awards/scholarships
- School list
