My cGPA is a 3.73 with 2 semesters remaining of senior year (looking good so far), sGPA is 3.57 due to a C in physics, so with 11 credits of science this semester that'll definitely be raised over 3.6. I have majority As, one B, two Cs, and a few A-s scattered in. I'm a philosophy major.
My MCAT score is a 508 with a (126/129/124/129) breakdown.
I'm white, designated female but living as a male.
Volunteering: 380 hours total. I did about 10 hours in a hospital before COVID shut the program down, 220 as a volunteer public health intern, 64 at a women's clinic, 40 at the Trevor Project, 45 for my school's disability center, and currently volunteering for the 2022 Trans Survey. All of these were done for a minimum 5 months, some spanning over a year.
Clinical: 1185 as a CNA and then a medical assistant. Started in Sept 2020 and currently still doing it.
Paid non-clin: 250 as a sexual health educator and I have a leadership position on the oversight board of the org. Since Spring 2022 and still doing it.
Research: 235 hours in 3 departments, one co-author publication, one pending. Since Sept 2021, still doing.
Shadowing: 24 total in 2 very different specialties, first did it in Spring 2020 and again this year. Have 2 docs in 2 other specialties lined up.
Other: I serve on the sexual assault survivor services advisory board on my campus, was part of a crowd-editing project to edit First Aid for the USMLE's Step One book for inclusive language, I serve on a board to improve our gender neutral bathroom signage on campus, and I have been part of 2 clubs. I plan on 1 gap year after graduation (so, applying this spring after graduation).
Awards: Dean's list 2 semesters, [redacted] scholar for leadership, service, and scholarship, independent English department award.
I feel like it is relevant to mention that I am a first generation student and low-income. I'm crafting my narrative about my passion for health equity and will likely mention how my LGBT identity plays into that. I want to go into FM. My story involves a lot of adversity because I am a GED graduate who came from a very abusive home where college was basically just a dream. I've been working since I was 16 and have only had myself to rely on throughout college. I have one W on my transcript because I suffer from migraines and had a bad semester health-wise.
Tentative school list: U of Illinois, U of Maryland, U of Minnesota, U of Missouri, U of Washington, U of WI, Wayne State, Drexel, George Washington U, Georgetown, Indiana U, U of Buffalo, Temple, MCW, Rush, Thomas Jeff. U, SUNY Downstate, and U of Kansas. More to come, would love suggestions.
