Hi everyone. This is my first post on here and I was wondering what the general consensus is on my “chances” with my given information/stats. I’m looking to apply to most of the 9 schools, however, Temple, Barry, Scholl and Western are among my top choices. I will be applying during the 2022 cycle for a Fall 2023 matriculation.
- Non-STEM major: English
- English Honors Program Student
- Psychology Minor
- Current T.A
- 3.60 cGPA (can be raised up to ~3.65)
- 3.27 sGPA (can be raised up to ~3.45)
*still have a few pre-req courses to take such as Physics 2 and biochemistry alongside some upper level electives to help bolster the GPA.
*No MCAT score yet (planning to take Spring of 2022) hoping for at least a 500-505.
< 50 hours currently of shadowing (MD and DPM)
< 50 hours clinical volunteering (direct patient care)
< 50 hours community volunteering (set-up and ran private projects)
*hoping to exceed 100 hours in each category by graduation
- Current President of two major organizations on campus. Strong extracurricular’s and long-term involvement.
- LOR opportunities from DPMs, Science and English faculty members.
- Published author (fiction and poetry)
- Have attended medically-based internship’s over summer’s.
- Non-traditional background, will be taking a gap year (unsure of what I will be doing as of yet), immigrant
- Strong resume and personal statement with solid interview skills.
Obviously this isn’t an exhaustive compilation of my info/stats/etc. but hopefully it’s enough to gauge some sort of idea. Any advice on how to expand and become even more competitive is greatly appreciated as well. Thanks in advance!
