Hi everyone, I am just finishing up my primary and want to know where I stand.

Demographics: White Male, 22 yr old, Ohio resident, attended Ohio State for undergrad
GPA: 3.94 cGPA 3.94 sGPA
MCAT: 520 (131, 126, 132, 131)
Clinical: I am starting my PCA job next week and will be working there for the year (anticipated 1800 hrs) but will only have 100 hrs by time of submission. This is on a cardiology floor at my uni hospital
Volunteering: 40 hrs at food pantry/homeless shelter but will continue doing more during a gap year
Shadowing: 90 hrs (orthopedic surgeon)
Research: None
LOR: 1 (physician I shadowed should be good) 2 (professors should both be good)
Hobby: Avid fly fishermen
Important Note: I was in a bad car accident fall of my sophomore year causing me to miss the rest of the school year and had to do a lot to make up the coursework during my junior and senior year. This is what I am writing my PS about and have had it looked over multiple times by many different people.

I know my activities are severely lacking but I am hoping my unique experience can make up for that as I have my own patient perspective.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

Your chances for interviews will be limited due to your low clinical and non clinical hours. Many schools screen at 150 hours for both clinical and non clinical volunteering and you are below the threshold for both. Your best chances for an interview are your state public schools.
