Hi all, I'm hoping to get some feedback on my school list. I've only submitted to my states schools so far and would like to add more, but not sure how high to aim.
1. 3.71 cGPA and 3.73 sGPA (4.0 in last 36 credit hours, all prereqs, done as DIY post bacc)
Physics major, math minor
2. MCAT 523 (132/129/131/131)
3. IL Resident
4. ORM
5.Small private liberal arts college
6. 50 hours home hospice volunteer, 120 hours patient-facing hospital volunteering, 900 hours scribing in an ED
7. 6000 hours of research/development of a novel shock absorber for railcars. Extensive lab work with full-time employment (see item #10). No pubs and I started after the patent was filed, but I can talk at length about the product and experimentation to bring it to market.
8. 30 hours shadowing; hospitalist, ER doc, pulmonologist, and an NP and PA
9. 500 hours volunteering at food bank in supervisor role
10. 9 years full-time employment in railroad R&D, doing data analysis and writing software for a mechanical testing lab.
Non-thesis MS in computer science (4.0 gradGPA). Led a software development project and wrote a research review as capstone projects.
Employed throughout undergrad as an IT technician (dad’s small business) and as a carwash attendant.
Hobby of car repair.
Rock band artistic endeavor.
11. No honors/awards.
12. 31M, non-trad, first-gen college graduate. Personal statement leans into integrating computing background with medicine. Looking to attend a school that will offer good research opportunities.
