Please be completely honest. Thank you! I'm not quite sure how to improve my application.
ORM, SES disadvantaged (CA resident)
cGPA: 2.76, sGPA: 2.87 (Post-bacc: 4.0, full-time for several years)
SMP GPA: 3.67
MCAT: 519
IA: Academic dismissal halfway through undergraduate, went through readmissions process
Clinical:
• MA, scribe & manager for internal medicine: ~4000 hours
• MA urology: ~1500 hours
Research:
• Pancreatic cancer wet lab research (no publication/poster): ~900 hours
• Oncology database clinical research (no publication/poster): ~300 hours
Other:
• Global Medical Brigades (leadership): ~600 hours + 240 hours (as non-leader)
• Tutor (for economics/physics): ~2000 hours
• Homeless volunteering: ~2700 hours (over so many years)
• Undergrad hiphop club founder (leadership): ~1200 hours
• Undergrad cultural club (leadership): ~1000 hours
3 new EC's for the upcoming application process: EMT, additional homeless volunteering at an organization, and Toastmaster's.
This is upcoming cycle is my 2nd cycle. 1st cycle was all rejections with exception of 1 post-II WL. I would take more post-bacc classes to raise my GPA, but I literally ran out of hard science classes to take at the institution I did my post-bacc in. I took every single upper division and prerequisite courses I possibly could. I would have to go to another institution to keep raising my GPA.
