Hello everyone, any and all feedback is appreciated.
CA resident, ORM (I know)
Biology major at a CA public university
cGPA: 3.95
sGPA: 3.92
MCAT: 514
Clinical experience:
EMT (~1100 hours)
Hospital volunteering (~150 hours)
Research:
Clinical research with veterans (~700 hours + plan to continue during gap)
No pubs or posters
Non-clinical volunteering:
Camp counselor for children affected by parents cancer (~600 hours)
Tutoring underserved / first-generation students including ESL and learning differences (~400 hours)
Senior assistance volunteering (~150 hours)
Shadowing:
~ 3 specialties, ~20 hours each
Other activities/hobbies:
Undergraduate instructional assistant (~120 hours)
Co-founded and led school soccer group for pickup games and tournaments (~400 hours)
Peer mentorship (~100 hours)
Worked a couple food service jobs part time throughout college (~700 hours)
Bodybuilding/lifting
Letters of recommendation:
2 science faculty
Clinical supervisor (nurse I worked with as an EMT)
Volunteer supervisor (3+ year relationship)
Research letter (written by lab manager and PI MD)
No committee letter
Overall I'd my app is pretty service-heavy with a lot of long-term involvement with underserved populations, and clinical exposure as an EMT. Research is there but not a major focus. Tried to be relatively realistic with my school list but definitely needs tweaking.
School list (32):
UCSF
UCLA
UCSD
UC Irvine
USC (Keck)
Kaiser Permanente
UC Davis
Albert Einstein
University of Rochester
Hofstra
Dartmouth
Boston University
Tufts
Wake Forest
Sidney Kimmel (Jefferson)
George Washington
Georgetown
Emory
Case Western
Loyola Chicago (Stritch)
Rush
Creighton
Saint Louis University
Quinnipiac
Oakland Beaumont
Medical College of Wisconsin
Temple
University of Miami
Penn State
VCU
New York Medical College
Ohio State
Thanks in advance.
