Demographics
- South Asian, female
- TX resident
- Biochem major
- In my last semester of college right now
MCAT: 513 (128/128/128/129) 1 attempt
My school does +/- for letter grades which I know TMDSAS doesnt count, so I calculated cGPA and scGPA for both.
with -/+ --> cGPA: 3.84, scGPA: 3.85
without -/+ --> cGPA: 3.91, scGPA: 3.95 (I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I had a LOT of A-'s)
Activites
Research:
- 960 hours working at biotech
Clinical activities:
- 900 hours working as transport/medical assistant on pediatric side of surgery floor of ENT hospital
- 200 hours (continuing) working as a transport/aide on the same floor but adult side in pre op/post op/PACU
- 60 hours shadowing plastic surgeons and ENT surgeons (same hospital)
- 75 hours volunteering at different hospital doing visitor center/gift shop and NICU greeter
Non-clinical activities:
- 70 hours (continuing) volunteering at LGBTQIA+/immigrant focused women's shelter preparing/serving food
Leadership:
- red cross club position
Hobbies:
- played violin for 10 years/aspiring dj/music
LORs (eh): 1 from boss at biotech, 2 from science profs (not super strong i think), 1 potentially one from my immigrant experience socl prof, no MD 🙁
I'm currently trying to figure out what to do with my gap year and am looking at something service-heavy like americorps because I'm keen on working with underserved/immigrant populations. I'm also not sure where to start with a school list as I'm still interested in applying outside of Texas. I'd love any advice/comments on where to improve my application before applying this June. Thank you!
