Hello everyone! I am a Canadian student looking to apply to Wayne State this year, possibly as Early Decision. I am looking for some guidance to see if my chances are realistic with my MCAT as an Early Decision applicant, or should I wait and rewrite my MCAT before applying? Thank you!
1 publication
3 years of paid research experience - many hours overall - in biomedical sciences, mostly histology work
Few months of volunteer research in organic chemistry
Undergraduate thesis
Recruitment coordinator for local organization
Co-chair of campus-wide conference organization committee
Student Union, President and previously Vice-President, for specific research program
Student representative on smoke-free campus policy committee
Student Mentor for 3 years
Student Tutor with organization on campus, started up a course for tutoring with this organization as well
Founder & president of branch of national charity club on campus
TA for first year biology and physics
Beginner coder
Gap year - work at family business, volunteer at organizations around my city, shadow
President’s list and Dean’s list
High school awards in writing
I believe the strongest parts of my application might be my research experience and GPA. But I realize I am lacking in clinical experience, and I would be open to building that up and delaying applying as Wayne State says they do not do rolling admissions on their website.
Thank you for your help!
