My basic information (white male, Mississippi resident):
1. 3.51 cGPA and a 3.31 sGPA - Biomedical Engineering Major @ Michigan w/ Chemistry and Mechanical Eng. Minors
2. 508 MCAT
3. 150 hours of clinical volunteering at a VA Hospital
3. 3 years of clinical research, involving 10+ different clinical trials, significant patient interaction, lab bench work, and data analysis. 2 publications (maybe 3).
4. ~40 hrs shadowing: Family, Radiology, Cardiology, Ortho
5. Leader of a student design team that's modifying an Ortho's surgical tools to minimize accidents in OR. (Decent amount of miscellaneous EC's too, including tutoring and TA for several classes)
6. Have a positive trend in GPA and a compelling story (my gf was diagnosed, and has since overcome, cancer during 1st semester of sophomore yr)
I'll obviously apply to Mississippi Med School (UMC SOM), but wanted your guys' take on my chances there as well as other schools I should target. I know my GPA is a little low, but I'm thinking about UAB, Tulane, Arkansas, FSU, then UWashington, Emory, Georgetown as more of my dream schools.
