Hello! I'm a no gap year applicant graduating a semester early (Fall 2024). I have okayish stats with decent extracurriculars.

State: NY

School: Large Public State School

Ethnicity: ORM Asian

Major: Biology

GPA: 3.68 (not sure of science gpa but I think it's 3.5?)

MCAT: 510 ( 127 / 124 🙁 / 128 / 131 )

Clinical Paid: 1100 hours scribe at Urgent Cares

Nonclinical Volunteering: 100 hours university food pantry / 1400 hours for an organization (more anticipated) = 1400 hours total

Research: 75 hours in psychology currently (but 225 hours anticipated) / No pubs

Shadowing: 100 cardiologist private office / 50 ED at hospital= 150 hours

Leadership: 100 hours Organic Chemistry TA (became a mentor for one of the student who I keep in contact with)

Some hobbies as well. I think during my gap semester I'll try to get more research.

LORs: 1 from Spanish prof (strong), 1 from organic chem prof (okay), 1 from bio prof (okay), 1 from bio lab instructor cosigned with professor (strong), 1 from MD I worked with (strong), and 1 from MD that is my mentor (strong)

I think I have a pretty good personal statement (hopefully)

Other: I'll be taking Casper+Duet and Preview Soon.

Maybe Drexel, but its far-away rotations throw me off. I'm not applying to the other NY MD's because those will most likely be free donations (I think albert einstein this year will be uber competitive).
