SOS I'm an American citizen who has lived in Canada for most of my life (permanent resident there now). Really naive about US schools, but interested in learning/practicing in the US! Based on my understanding I should be an out-of-state applicant for each school I apply to (correct me if I'm wrong).
Really no clue who to put based on my stats and circumstances, really would appreciate the help! My commitments to athletics have certainly caused my GPA to be lower than it could be and limited my opportunity for extracurriculars.
State/Country of Residence: Born in Illinois, Live in Canada
Ties to other States/Regions: No
URM? (Y/N): No, white male
Year in School: Completed degree
Undergraduate Major(s)/Minor(s): Neuroscience
Graduate Degrees (if applicable): None
Cumulative GPA: 3.56 (big upwards trend though, last 2 years have been 3.9ish)
Science GPA: 3.50
MCAT Score(s): (496, 508, 513)
Research Experience: A bit of assistance on independent research projects, no pubs at the moment
Publications/Abstracts/Posters (include how you were credited e.g. first author, second author, etc.): None
Clinical Experience (paid or volunteer): Volunteered in hospitals for about 100 hours
Physician Shadowing: Over 500 hours roughly
Non-Clinical Volunteering: Varsity mental health initiative, 100 hours, psychology TA for a year, definitely lacking due to athletic commitments
Other Extracurricular Activities: Varsity athlete for 5 years at the top level of Canadian University Sport, played semi-professional (major junior hockey) 5 years prior, working out, various recreational sports
Other Employment History: Semi-professional sport, summer jobs including sports camps, car dealership, hockey coaching
Immediate family members in medicine? (Y/N): Yes
Specialty of Interest (if applicable): None at the moment
Interest in Primary Care (Y/N): Unsure, but willing to learn more
Interest in Rural Health (Y/N): Live in a smaller area so definitely an interest
Thank you in advance!
