Don't really know what to think. I am strongly considering a gap year, but will most likely work as a software engineer (not at an incredible company either) and get some clinical experience part-time (I want a scribe job, but they are competitive, so I am considering being a CNA alongside volunteer work). What is the likelihood I get in with this background (I think the GPA is misleading since I have been told my academic record is inconsistent).
Region/State: Georgia
Race: Asian Male
Major: Computer Science
cGPA: 3.96
sGPA: 4.0
MCAT: 511
**Note: I have been told my academic record is inconsistent since I have 1 W and my course load was as follows:
12 credits, 17 credits, (summer) 7 credits, (1 W) 13 credits, 18 credits, (summer) 9 credits + job, 15 credits, (spring) 6 credits, (summer) 7 credits, 18 credits, 9 credits
Non-clinical experience:
500 hours tutoring underserved (foreign born, lower socioeconomic status) high school students
200 hours intro to biology TA
500 hours paid research (REU) on computational biology project
300 hours unpaid research also involving computational biology (I will do my thesis on this project)
Clinical experience:
100 hours volunteering at local hospital
Notable experience:
100 hours computer science project for my undergrad's med school (application physicians use in interactions with patients)
50 hours other computer science project that is healthcare related
Shadowing:
50 hours shadowing
*No outstanding awards outside of dean's list, summa cum laude (is this a red flag)
