Hi,
I've had a bit of a rough semester and got lower grades than anticipated (2 b+). I've had an upward trend except for this semester. I haven't taken the MCAT, but I expect around a 515. I am a junior in Georgia and attend a state university.
ECs:
Research: 1 year of research in infectious disease ~200 hours
Clinical Volunteering: 2 years of clinical volunteering at a local hospital ~100 hours (I also plan to do more volunteering this summer)
Shadowing: 60 hours shadowing family doctor
Non-Clinical Volunteering: 200+ hours at a local charity, ~70 hours from a service trip
Extracurricular Activities: Physics TA (4 hrs / week - 1 semester), Math Tutor for local middle school and head tutor for 1 semester (24 hours); vice president of a cultural club
Employment: Receptionist at medical office (1 year) and Math and Biology Tutor
Specialty of Interest: Primary Care
I have decent LORs and am a ORM (Asian).
I plan to apply for state schools and other medical schools in the southeast (primarily mid-tier schools).
I'd appreciate some school suggestions and would like to know if I am a competitive applicant. Should I also apply to DO schools?
Thank you
