I really need help finding out where I fit, in terms of my school list and ability to apply. I know I have stats, but I'm not sure where I stand on the EC front.
sGPA: 3.97
cGPA: 3.98
MCAT: 523
Clinical volunteering
200 hours volunteering at the local hospital.
Another 50 hours volunteering there and mentoring a crossingpoints (special needs) student who wants to work there in the future.
Non clinical volunteering
80 hours volunteering at a dog shelter.
50 hours volunteering at the local underprivileged schools near my college. I Read to kindergarten students, and tutored in the computer lab.
40 hours as a part of an organization that does science experiments at lower income schools after-school to get them interested in science.
research
probably around 300-400 hours of research in an animal behavior and endocrinology lab with one 1st author publication.
teaching/tutoring
150 hours as an undergraduate TA for intro biology, with half of those hours teaching the lab portion of the class alone (if that even matters).
Another 50 hours TA'ing histology.
500ish hours tutoring for my university's tutoring center.
shadowing
only around 50 hours, a mix of pediatrics and family medicine.
Please let me know what you think.
You do.Im just not sure if I have enough clinical and nonclinical volunteering for top schools.
I agree that you need to get in more nonclinical volunteering. Stop tutoring unless it's done for poor kids. Get in maybe another 50 hrs clinical exposure.@Goro please share your expertise and judgement.
