Homemaker. Graduated college in 2004. Been out of the workforce since 2006, raising kids. My family and I have decided to widen our net of places to apply. We do not want to live in the south half of the country.
Location: Oregon
Undergraduate institution: North Dakota SU
(Edit)Major: Biology and a minor in Chemistry
Reapplicant (applied to my state school last year)
MCAT: 520
Stats: 3.90 cGPA and sGPA
Have taken 16 credits recently at a CC, 4.0 there
Clinical volunteering: about 400 hours within the last 2 years in maternity ward, have volunteered in distant past in ED, surgery, and general inpatient medicine. 16 hours in pop-up free clinics
Non-clinical volunteering: tons, mostly family-oriented activities
Shadowing: 50 hours
Other: 1 publication (research I participated in as a student worker [computer animator, 5 years] regarding science education), have also worked in lower-level retail management. Childhood adversity was a yes (low SES is disclosed in my app, also grew up with parents with substance abuse issues which I have chosen not to disclose and not sure if I should?)
Edit: I mostly need help generating a school list.
School list:
Oregon Health & Science University
And maybe U of Minn, Mayo, U of Iowa? Only because I am familiar with those institutions and locations. We would also love to live in New England. (I don't want to go to UND and live in ND again!)
